Steve Job’s Ex Apple CEO Dies 1955-2011

Apple has announced the unfortunate death of Steve Job’s, Apple CEO and co-founder.  This is very sad considering the iPhone 4S unveiling from Tim Cook, the man who took over for Jobs.  What will Apple be like without his genius innovation and inspiration?  It’s tough to write about his death so I’ll just leave you with a message from Apple regarding Steve Job’s death today.  If you’re interested in seeing pictures of Steve Job’s before sickness and throughout the years, visit our article here.

Apple’s website has a picture of Steve Job’s and when you click to it a simple note saying the following:

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and to work with Steve have lost a dear friend and inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

Steve Job’s Resignation Letter Prior to His Death

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
