Jerome B. York 1938-2010. With deep sadness we announce the loss of a member of our corporate family and dear friend, Jerry York. Jerry courageously joined Apple's Board of Directors in 1997, when many doubted the company's future, and contributed his extraordinary character, business expertise and leadership to help guide Apple for over a decade. Jerry was one of a kind – and we're going to miss him dearly.
