I'm sure you all know who that is..

He pass away earlier this week.  I haven't seen much about it in the news or anything (for shame.. ) but a nice write-up is here:

Its sad, but that generation is becoming smaller and smaller.  As for not seeing any news about his death, it was at his request to keep the info from the public until after the funeral.

Also on that note, the last member of Doolittle's Raiders passed away too.

Stumbled across a tribute series on Youtube about Major Winters featuring interviews with the surviving members of the company, the actors who played the men of Easy Company, and others involved in Band of Brothers.

This is the link to the first part in the 10 part series.
