This moving tribute explains why former Intel CEO Andy Grove was revered by so many

The technology world has lost an icon. Andy Grove, the former chairman and chief executive of Intel, died Monday, eliciting an outpouring of remembrances, memories and eulogies from leaders in Silicon Valley and far beyond.

Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted that Grove "epitomized America at his best." Gates Foundation CEO Sue Desmond-Hellman tweeted "I treasure the time Andy Grove spent mentoring me as @UCSF Chancellor. He was fierce & funny; truly one of a kind." Cancer researcher David Agus called Grove–known for being gruff and demanding yet also generous with his time–"grumpy, nasty, brilliant & inspirational all at once." Former General Electric chief Jack Welch wrote that the "world lost a great leader, courageous entrepreneur, savvy businessman and just terrific person with passing of Andy Grove."
