Steve Jobs was a legend and will live on in the American psyche for generations to come. There are millions of people worldwide that have shed tears today for this loss.
My condolence to all of the Apple family who'd come to know and love Mr. Jobs. In addition, special prayers to Steve Jobs' family. To the world he was a genious. To his family he was a husband, life-partner,... and dad.
Bless you Steve Jobs. You no longer feel any pain. Now you can RIP, knowing you left this world a better place.
sincerely,

At the time of his recent resignation from the Board of Apple, I knew he was not going to be alive for much longer. When I heard the news yesterday evening, I cried.
I worked in the advertising industry for many years, and was the first person in my office to own an Apple Computer. At the time, I took out a loan from my bank and purchased an Apple IICX, a laser II printer and a copy of Quark XPress-- and was on the forefront of the desktop publishing revolution. Apple's product's changed advertising design and production because they were intuitive-- creative people like myself found them incredibly easy to use. Steve Jobs was a creative and marketing genius, and I know I will not see his like in my lifetime. What a loss for the world!
My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, children and family-- who have been at his side through his long illness and who are undoubtedly suffering. May he rest in peace.

A source with an English accent wondered if he'd be buried in London's 'igate cemetery.

A true Icon. Imagine if he accomplished this much on this planet, what will he accomplish as a higher power?

My deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. Jobs' family, friends, colleagues and to the world wide web for the loss of a remarkable man. A true genius. Mr. Jobs' legacy will live on forever... Because of Mr. Jobs; my life is easier, more manageable, enjoyable and I can stay in touch with loved one with the push of a few buttons and clicks. There are no words.

I don't know much about Steve Jobs, but read this interesting account from Noah Wylie, who portrayed Mr. Jobs in a cable movie:
We were under a very strict directive not to contact the people we were playing for fear that they would find something libelous in the script and shut the production down. So I didn't. The day after the movie aired [in 1999], I was sitting in my living room and my phone with what I thought was my unlisted phone number rang.
"Noah?" said the voice.
"Yes," I said.
"This is Steve Jobs."
