Seems a lot of the people in the industry are slowly passing... (don't forget Nicholas Hayek) I've come to the thought that I hope that this industry continues to be replenished with fresh new blood that are as innovative as him...

RIP Mr. Genta.

Yeah, and Rolf Schnyder.

These are the people that drove the mechanical renaissance - geniuses all and will be sorely missed.
