There's been a lot of Disney news this week. Unfortunately, this bit of news is a sad one. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, former CEO of Apple, executive producer of Toy Story, former chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios, a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company, and Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7%, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 56-years-old.
Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.

"Steve Jobs was an extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family. He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply 'make it great.' He is why Pixar turned out the way we did and his strength, integrity and love of life has made us all better people. He will forever be a part of Pixar's DNA. Our hearts go out to his wife Laurene and their children during this incredibly difficult time." --John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar
"Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an 'original,' with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time." --Bob Iger, CEO of Disney

Don't get him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry...

I just heard about this last night. I didn't know he was the executive producer of Toy Story. I'm sorry to hear about his passing.
