APPLE'S new CEO Tim Cook yesterday mourned the loss of company co-founder Steve Jobs, who died from cancer at age 56, calling him a "creative genius" and "inspiring mentor."
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor," said Cook, who took the company helm in August.
"Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Cook said the company was planning "a celebration of Steve's extraordinary life for Apple employees that will take place soon," and urged readers to share their memories of Jobs via e-mail at rememberingsteve@apple.com.
"No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much," he said.
