Eric Hobsbawn, died at 95 years old. A frightening number of years to
live for someone who has reached his use by date at 56 years old (gay
males have a life expectancy roughly equivalent to Australia's original
land owners)
But he showed the way and demonstrated a historical materialist practice
in which history begins in the 20th century.
Finding something to say after you are said to dead... that is a skill.
