They say one should only speak good of the dead, so I will restrict my comment to: Good.

Uwe Seeler died at age 85.

One of the greatest German footballers of all times, and always a decent and funny person.

Probably the biggest Hamburg icon next to Helmut Schmidt.
Brits may recall him from the '66 worldcup.

The following passage in the article on Lovelock got my atention:

Quote:

Working for Nasa in the 960s, Lovelock had what he called a Eureka moment when he realised living things had a profound impact on the environment around them.

That would make him a lot older than 103...
