I think you just have to look at the tributes from other successful people in tech and beyond-Google's
Sergey Brin &
Larry Page, Facebook's
Mark Zuckerberg, Salesforce's
Marc Beniof, Mathematica's
Stephen Wolfram VC
Fred Wilson, to name just a few, to realize the impact he had on their careers and companies. I think they have a better idea, and a more personal view of what he contributed over the years.
