Agreed, I've had mentors who were decades my senior that provided me both with engineering advice as well as solid professional advice.
Unfortunately, I've worked with plenty more individuals in the previous category than the former. Maybe it's got something to do with my industry (medical) but it seems like a lot of the senior engineers in this field have just lost motivation or have moved their focus elsewhere. Knowledge and experience only get you so far, it's useless if you can't (or won't) do anything with it.
