"King of the Surf Guitar" though he didn't wanted the title in later years. Certainly a wonderful and influencing musician.

I just heard of his death on April 9, thanks to Numberphile, but:

Elwyn Berlekamp.

And if you don't know who that is, oh boy do you have a treat in store, because (amongst other things) he was one of the authors of Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays.
