One of the premier inventors of our time helped change the world.
I recently went to the memorial service for John Warnock. Most will not be familiar with the name — he was a brilliant man but a modest one. He was also a person ranking with Bill Hewlett, David Packard, Gordon Moore, Bob Noyce and Steve Jobs in the pantheon of those who created our special valley and changed the world.
My family has lived and worked in our downtown for generations, and from my bedroom window I could see AP Giannini’s Bank of America with new hopes and its shining green light at the highest pinnacle. New energy for our city. But here, with a nod to Apple, Adobe was the most important software company of all. Warnock was so admired that Barack Obama awarded him the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Here was clearly one of the premier inventors of our time.
