Lots of longevity with computer scientists. Not an expert on the topic, therefore I've got no idea how notable these people are, but for example Thomas E. Kurtz, Jack Dennis, Willem van der Poel, Dana Scott, Peter G. Neumann, Frank Land, William Kahan, Jin Yilian, Mary Tsingou, Michael O. Rabin, Roy Clay, Robert G. Gallager and Mike Woodger are all at very advanced ages.

Dutch computer scientist Willem van der Poel (wiki) supposedly dead at 97, according to this edit.

Georg Keßler (wiki), German football manager, supposedly died in March 2023 at the age of 90, according to this May 2023 edit on his German page by someone who claims to be his son.

 

Very surprising if he actually did die off-radar because he's a big name in Netherlands and Belgium and big enough in Germany, but at the same time it also wouldn't surprise me because he pretty much retreated from public life when he retired. His most recent media appearance seems to have been in 2009.

No obits I can find - if he was dead he'd have gotten a statement from AZ or something.

Le Monde obit for Cartier. A member of the legendary Bourbaki group.

 

From the names within the first generations only Jacques Dixmier (1924) and the formidable Jean-Pierre Serre (1926) are still alive.

 

The later members include a lot of youngsters with the exceptions of Hyman Bass (1932) and Michel Demazure (1937).

This page on Wiki Az seems to have ancient Soviet/Azerbaijani ballet master Magsud Mammadov marked as dead. With a quick search I can't find anything else saying this, but he is or was 95 and recently widowed.
