I dedicated this week's Gratitude Sunday post to him - so grateful am I for the products he envisioned and brought to market, but also for his philosophy and way of thinking, which he freely shared with us.<br /><br />P.S.

I think of all the great artists who weren't recognized until after their deaths. I guess it comes down to being true to yourself and getting your priorities straight every day. I'm sure Steve Jobs did that. <br /><br />Great post, Julie!<br /><br />AmyA.L.

I wrote a post last year titled Legacy of Words, in which I described how I *hope* my words leave an impression somewhere, but my biggest hope is that my kids see how I went for it and gave my all to something I love.
