The memorial for Steve Jobs on the Stanford University campus Sunday night featured an intimate series of tributes from friends, colleagues and family.
According to someone present at the service, one of Mr. Jobs’s daughters read the script from the Apple television commercial known as “The Crazy Ones,” part of an advertising campaign that saluted iconic figures like Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner and John Lennon (here is a clip of the original version of the commercial as narrated by the actor Richard Dreyfuss and an unaired version narrated by Mr. Jobs himself).
Mona Simpson, Mr. Jobs’s sister, spoke of being present during the last moments of his life.
Joan Baez sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Bono, the U2 frontman, performed a Bob Dylan song, “Every Grain of Sand.” Mr. Dylan was one of Mr. Jobs’s favorite artists.
Larry Ellison, the Oracle chief and a longtime friend of Mr. Jobs, said their relationship consisted of walks in the foothills of Silicon Valley near their homes, the person at the service said. Mr. Ellison also offered a moment of levity when describing his Hawaiian vacations with Mr. Jobs. He said the trips always included four people: Mr. Jobs, his wife, Lauren Powell Jobs, Mr. Ellison and whichever woman Mr. Ellison — who has been married and divorced several times — was dating at the time.
Jonathan Ive, Apple’s senior vice president for industrial design, spoke about working with Mr. Jobs. During brainstorming sessions, Mr. Ive said, Mr. Jobs would often come up with a lot of “dopey ideas,” along with good ones too.
In addition to Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and other guests whose attendance was earlier noted, the former Apple executives Jonathan Rubinstein, Avie Tevanian, Tony Faddell and Andy Hertzfeld were there. Tim Cook, Scott Forstall and Bud Tribble were among the current Apple executives present. The venture capitalists John Doerr and Marc Andreessen attended, along with the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and Salesforce.com’s chief executive, Marc Benioff.
