John Conway died recently, age 82.

One of the living proofs that egomania can be managed by its victim so as to avoid making themself generally disliked, is no longer living.

As far as I know most saddened people remember him for either the elucidation of the Monster, or the invention of the game of Life.
I touch base with him on his memorization, in middle age, of the names and locations of the most easily visible 2000 named stars.
 
Christo has passed away. He was known for wrapping things up - like the great barrier reef, an island and the Louvre etc.
