Actually he was VERY sick. There were pictures of him recently that made him look like death warmed over.

I feel bad for him, he left too soon.

BUT, and here is an important thing to remember. He was just another man. A brilliant one that made things happen.

The fact that people are putting bunches of flowers outside RETAIL STORES strikes me as a kind of social disconnect to the reality of the situation. He was not a relative, and although many will say he is instrumental to their way of living, that is only on the surface.

If society showed half as much concern over social issues as it does over a man that basically made a good phone (I know, I am simplifying for illustration) we would be in a much better world.

May he rest in peace, now let him rest.
