Indian scientist Ramamirtha Jayaraman, dead at 81.

Italo Casali, Sammarinese Olympic sports shooter, dead at 78.

Anjali Khandwala, Indian Gujarati writer, dead at 78.

 

Italian language news story that references the death of Italo Casali.  The section in question in which he's referred translates roughly (Google Translate) as :

 

"Unfortunately, the recent death of our dear Brother Italo Casali, Honorary Grand Master, a good man but of great character, who drove our Institution in difficult times and that we have recently commemorated in a Ritual Round, sadly saddened me. without him all of us would not be here. May the earth be light to you dear friend."

George E. Felton, British computer scientist dead at 98.
Charles Wyrsch, Swiss painter dead at 98.
Jacob W. Gruber, American anthropologist dead at 98.


Another 2 names to add:

Clemens C. J. Roothaan, Dutch physicist dead at 100.
Milton Quon, American animator for Walt Disney Studios dead at 105.

Both awaiting reliable sources though it looks like Quon's son posted a tribute on Instagram.

Disney Animators have a good life experience - several reached centenarian status.

These 5 are fairly big names.

 

Felton is the father of operating system GEORGE and a computer science pioneer who worked fo Ferranti.

Wyrsch is one of the most revered living Swiss painters.

Gruber was the first American archaeologist to lead an excavation in a Communist country (Czechoslovakia, 1966)

I know Roothaan for useful Roothaan equations.

Milton Quon, along with Ruthie Thompson, is the last pre-WWII Disney animator.

 

I hope they all get their obits, they deserve them.

That era's animators had very impressive endurance. At this time three years ago, Willis Pyle just died, and Ruthie Tompson, Milton Quon, Don Lusk, Tyrus Wong, and X Atencio were all still alive, plus Bob Givens for Warner Bros. All but the last two lived to be centenarians, and now just Tompson is left despite being the oldest of that lot. And that's not counting some of the early voice actors still left, thanks to Disney using child actors to voice child characters, or Marge Champion (used as a reference model for Snow White).
