A popular Vancouver journalist has died after a bout with cancer.
Editor, art director, and musician Bob Mercer was 72.
"His final days were filled with love and support from his family and friends," Mercer's Facebook page says. "At this time, Bob's family is taking time to process his passing. News of a virtual memorial will be announced once arrangements have been made.
"To respect Bob's wishes, we ask that you not send flowers," the message continues. "If you would still like to honour Bob's passing in some way, we suggest that you make a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation or the charity of your choosing in his name."
