He was 80 years old and died early Friday morning after battling cancer, said his wife Sandra.
“He was diagnosed two years ago, but you wouldn’t have known it from looking at him,” said Sandra Craven, adding a 14-month treatment was successful last year, but the illness returned aggressively and he entered hospital last week.
“It was peaceful at the end. He went quietly, but not without a fight.”
