i'll third frank isreal (mentioned up the list by trace and treekiller). never got to meet the guy in person - he died a week before my job interview there. stephen shortridge was kind enough to do the interview (it was for a house they had down in a remote part of florida i'd grown up in). one of the most emotionally intense meetings i've been in. job didn't pan out in the end, but it seemed like a really great place to work.
and i agree he was one of the more talented of that generation - the language/tectonic of his large scale work was moving beyond where thom mayne was at the time.
I agree it is sad to see talented masters go away, but is this not the circle of life? For people or architecture? To me, personally it is very interesting how things change...
Oh don't worry people, thousands of architects and (almost) architects, who didn't quite make it back from this great depression will remember all of them.
