Farewell to Steve Jobs

Farewell to Steve Jobs - I know many are sad, I'm sad. Sappy as it may be. I didn't know him, like most I only knew of him & was blessed by his impact on the world I live in. Often I would imagine meeting the man who co-founded Apple, and helped give the world Pixar. To talk to him, to get to know him, the real him, would have been a treasure. He was an imagineer, one who lives by what his mind can imagine. He was in many ways what I hope to be. Not the founder of a computer manufacturer but a creative leader. A man to for reality out of ideas. To take a goal and make it something that benefits not just me but as many people as it can. Steve Jobs was ... Steve Jobs. His black turtle neck shirts to his endearing personal charm. He didn't try to impress, but often seemed to impress all of us with out trying. I read Dave Johnson (DC/MARVEL Artist) said it best on twitter and almost made me cry: "If I owned a black turtle neck, I'd be wearing it right now. Respect Mr. Jobs." - To that I tip my hat, and fane a black turtle neck. Respect to you Mr. Jobs, and thank you, always.
