In an internal e-mail published by The Telegraph, Tim Cook asked all Apple employees to remember Steve Jobs, the former Apple CEO, and to ask the ones that knew him personally how Steve was really like.

On the fourth year commemoration of Steve Jobs' death, Cook's letter to the Apple team says that "today marks four years since Steve passed away. On that day, the world lost a visionary. We at Apple lost a leader, a mentor, and many of us lost a dear friend."

He also described Jobs' legacy to Apple, the team behind all the innovative and creative products and services released after Steve's untimely death.

Furthermore, Cook states that even though Jobs is no longer around, there are hundreds of millions of customers that use the technology developed by Apple's team, which is Steve's greatest legacy.

As Tim Cook stated in the e-mail printed by The Telegraph, "today marks four years since Steve passed away. On that day, the world lost a visionary. We at Apple lost a leader, a mentor, and many of us lost a dear friend. Steve was a brilliant person, and his priorities were very simple."

Steve Jobs was Apple's Cofounder and Chairman, as well as its CEO between 1997 and 2011. Jobs was also the founder and CEO of NeXT, a company Apple purchased in 1997, one of the first moves in making Apple profitable again after being on the verge of bankruptcy.

Jobs worked very closely with Jonathan Ive to create Apple's next products that would revolutionize the technology world: the iPod, the iMac, the iPhone and the iPad.
