Poor guy. He was younger than my dad.
Thoughts to his wife and kids. He wasn't well by the end, I imagine the last few years have been very tough for him.
He did a lot of great things for Apple over the past 14 years or so, chief among which was attracting the right sort of people to work for him; to design and develop the software/hardware, to run the operations, marketing etc.
I don't think he is/was as integral to apple's continuing success as people think, and that will probably turn out to be his greatest achievement.
