Mona Simpson, Steve Jobs' sister said he was a loving family man who remained grounded with his wife and children in the midst of his success with Apple.

Simpson who only met her biological brother when she was 25 said in her eulogy, which was published in the New York Time on Sunday, that Jobs was a hard work who remained steadfast in his love for his wife and children.

Simpson recalled how she first met Jobs after he had found her through a lawyer and he was already rich and successful. Jobs had been given up for adoption and he and Simpson shared the same father. She painted a Jobs who was a genius who always pursued his own ideas even when it went against the tide.

"Steve always aspired to make beautiful later. He was willing to be misunderstood," Simpson wrote.

Simpson also wrote about Jobs the hidden romantic who stayed true to his wife of 20 years. Jobs and Laurene eventually went on to raise three children.

"There's this beautiful woman and she's really smart and she has this dog and I'm going to marry her," Jobs gushed when he told Simpson about first meeting his wife Laurene.

Jobs was a devoted father who never stopped gushing over his three children. He was involved in their lives and would fret over travel plans.

"His abiding love for Laurene sustained him. He believed that love happened all the time, everywhere. In that most important way, Steve was never ironic, never cynical, never pessimistic. I try to learn from that, still," Simpson said about Jobs' philosophy on love.

Simpson recalled her brother's fight with the disease and how he no longer took pleasure in things he had liked to do. Steve Jobs succumbed to pancreatic cancer. He died at age 56 surrounded by his closest family. Simpson wrote about Jobs' final moments.

"Before embarking, he'd looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life's partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them," she recalled. "Steve's final words were, Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
