According to the reports, Steven was with his father on the night of his passing, and told him,
“You are our hearth. You are our home. When I see a PlayStation, when I look at a cell phone — from the smallest calculator to an iPad — I look at my dad and I say, ‘My dad and a team of geniuses started that.’”
In a joint statement, Steven, his sister’s Anne, Nancy and Sue said that their father taught them to “love to research, expand their mind, keep their feet on the ground, but reach for the stars [and] look up.”
“He made friends over the radio. He heard from people he never knew existed. He connected with strangers and this affability is something he carried over into real life, often befriending another person in line at Starbucks or the table next to him,” his daughter Sue Spielberg said.
RIP Arnold Spielberg.
