John McCarthy (1927–2011)

"Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it"

 Yes, the man who saw so much further into the future of computer science has passed away.

Again, I'm personally thankful mostly for the language he invented: LISP.  The only programming language that is truly beautiful.
