Three questions
World and business leaders have been paying tribute to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who has died at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer.
US President Barack Obama and Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev said Mr Jobs had changed the world.
Microsoft's Bill Gates said it had been "an insanely great honour" to work with him. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg remembered his "mentor and friend".
In his statement, Bill Gates said: "The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honour."
He married his wife Laurene in 1991, and the couple had three children.
Mr Jobs also leaves a daughter from a previous relationship, and as an adult he discovered that he had a biological sister, US novelist Mona Simpson.
I have several questions on the above article.
We say he died of cancer. Here it is he died from cancer.
Is it fine?
In his statement, Bill Gates said: "The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.

This should be 'He married Laurene in 1991, and the couple ...

I thank both Clive and Anonymous for the replies.
However, to say he married his wife sounds odd to my ears.
He married somebody else's wife. [ IS THIS FINE TOO?]

After much reflection, I would agree with you to write the following.
He married his wife in 1991.
The above has the connotation of that the marriage took place in 1991.
He is married. He has 4 children.
We say, for example, he is married with 4 children.

Oh!
No concerns with marriages!
I am very comfortable with bonds of matrimony and don't need any matrimonial advice.
If necessary, I wouldn't hesitate to post here.
