DIED. Terry Fox, 22, who became a Canadian national hero by running halfway across the country on an artificial leg in 1980, eventually raising more than $20 million for cancer research; of cancer; in Vancouver, B.C. An outstanding soccer and basketball player before he lost his right leg to cancer in 1977, Fox began his "marathon of hope" in St. John's, Nfld., covering 3,317 miles in 4 1/2 months, before the disease, which had spread to his lungs, forced him to abandon the venture near Thunder Bay, Ont. Said he: "I wanted to show people that just because they're disabled, it's not the end."

DIED. David Weisz, 70, international auctioneer who through his Los Angeles-based company, International Fastener Research Corp., bought and sold the Harland & Wolff Shipyards in Belfast, all the props and costumes of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio in Culver City, Calif, and the Robert Hall chain of clothing stores, which he sold off individually; in Los Angeles.

DIED. George Voskovec, 76, Czech-born character actor, director and playwright who was best known in the U.S. for such Broadway roles as Einstein in The Physicists (1964) and Herr Schultz in Cabaret (1968); in Pearblossom, Calif. Voskovec directed and wrote for one of Czechoslovakia's most popular and influential theater companies before his anti-Nazi productions forced him to emigrate in 1939 to the U.S., where his screen credits included Twelve Angry Men (1957) and The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965).

DIED. Marcel Breuer, 79, Hungarian-born designer and architect whose sculptural use of steel and concrete helped shape the furniture and buildings of the 20th century; of heart disease; in New York City. Working with Walter Gropius at Germany's famous Bauhaus during the 1920s, Breuer was inspired by the curve of bicycle handles to design his celebrated tubular steel and leather Wassily chair (named for Painter Wassily Kandinsky, one of its first purchasers). After leaving the Bauhaus in 1928, he created the simple steel and cane Cesca chair, which, like the Wassily, remains a ubiquitous furnishing today. Breuer came to the U.S. in 1937 to teach at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, where his students included Edward Larrabee Barnes, Ulrich Franzen, Paul Rudolph and I.M. Pei. A leading fig ure in the International style of architecture, Breuer designed such distinguished buildings as the IBM Research Center in La Gaude, France, the St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minn., and the Whitney Museum in New York City. "Buildings should not be moody, but reflect a general, durable quality," he once said. "Architecture should be anchored in usefulness."

After marrying Keynes in 1925 (he died in 1946), Lopokova became a prominent figure in British literary and dance circles.
