According to the New York Post, his ex-wife Joanne Simpson gave up the baby as her father did not approve of her marrying a Syrian. Mr Jandali said if it had been his choice he would have wanted to keep the baby.
据《纽约邮报》报道，钱德里的前妻乔安娜•辛普森当年抛弃了乔布斯，是因为她父亲不同意她嫁给一个叙利亚人。钱德里说如果当时决定权在他，他会把孩子养大。
Joanne moved to San Francisco from Wisconsin in 1955, had the baby alone and gave it up for adoption. The Syrian immigrant, who has been described as a workaholic who is trying to avoid retirement at all costs, said he hoped his son would call him someday so the two could simply go for a cup of coffee.
1955年，乔安娜从威斯康星州搬到旧金山，独自在那里生下了乔布斯，并把他送人抚养。钱德里是个工作狂，想尽一切办法不退休。他说他希望儿子有一天可以联系他，哪怕只是一起喝杯咖啡。
He said: "I'd be lying if I said it doesn't sadden me to have not been part of my son's incredible journey. What father wouldn't think that? And I would think that even if he was not the head of a hugely successful company. Now I just live in hope that, before it is too late, he will reach out to me, because even to have just one coffee with him just once would make me a very happy man."
他说：“没能陪伴儿子走过辉煌的人生旅程，如果我说我不难过，那肯定是在撒谎。哪个父亲不是那么想的呢？即使他不是一个非常成功的公司总裁，我也会那样想。我现在只是希望他能和我联系，希望不至于太晚，哪怕只是坐在一起喝一次咖啡，我也很开心。”
Jobs, who has endured a much-publicised battle with cancer since 2004, has always been fiercely protective of his private life and little is known about the powerhouse behind the Apple brand. The stereotype of a cool New York sophisticate, he famously wears only black and has a minimalist philosophy so severe that friends recall visiting his mansion to find it virtually empty but for a picture of Einstein, a Tiffany lamp, a chair and a bed.
乔布斯一直严守自己的私生活，人们对苹果品牌背后的这个“超人”知之甚少。自2004年被诊断患有癌症之后，他的抗癌之战一直备受关注。在人们的印象中，乔布斯是个很酷的纽约奇才，他以只穿黑色衣服著称，还是一个严苛的极简主义者。据朋友们回忆，他的豪宅十分简陋，只有一张爱因斯坦的照片，一盏蒂凡尼台灯，一把椅子和一张床。
