Tim Cook Marks the 7th anniversary of Steve Jobs Passing, Says he misses him every day

Apple CEO Tim Cook has marked the seventh anniversary of the passing of Steve Jobs with a tweet, saying that he misses the company’s co-founder every day …

Steve showed me—and all of us—what it means to serve humanity. We miss him, today and every day, and we’ll never forget the example he set for us.

Cook frequently speaks about Steve, and the influence the man had on both the company and Cook himself. In one interview this summer, he said that working for Steve was liberating.

I found it to be liberating, is the way I would describe it. Because you could talk to Steve about something really big, and if it resonated with him, he would just say ‘Ok’ – and you could do it! It was like a total revelation for me that a company could run like this, because I was used to these layers and bureaucracies and studies – the sort of paralysis that companies could get into – and Apple was totally different. I realized that if I couldn’t get something done, I could just go to the nearest mirror and look at it and that was the reason.

Others who knew and worked with him also continue to talk about their experiences.
