Sadly we are entering a time when our old Prog heroes (and other heroes too, of course) are entering their twilight years. With this in mind, I am starting this topic so that we can mark their passing when the sad day comes.
To begin this topic, I have to announce the passing of the inventor of album covers - surely a subject close us all on this forum - Alex Steinweiss, aged 94.

Interesting article. Another perdition but he was old. The torture must stop in these cases.
