The greatest have all left:

• Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, CBE (16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008)
• Isaac Asimov (January 2?, 1920 – April 6, 1992)
• Robert Anson Heinlein (July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988)
• Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986)

Their vision and portrayals of Humanity and its journey to the future gave us all faith and hope. Rest in peace.
