I know Chuck Jones has passed but what about Friz Freling, Robert McKimson, Art Davis and the others?

....Freleng, McKimson, Avery, Clampett, Tashlin, Davis, and all the rest of the "classic" Warner Bros. animation directors are gone. Norm McCabe {"Looney Tunes" director, 1941-'43} was the youngest of them to survive, yet he passed away about two years ago.
