    From what I can gather cancer took him very quickly. His daughter said that he found out he had cancer 2 months after reciting this (hymn from the late Richard Baxter (1615-1691) on January 4th:

    “Lord, it belongs not to my care
    Whether I die or live;
    To love and serve Thee is my share,
    And this Thy grace must give.
    If life be long, I will be glad,
    That I may long obey;
    If short, yet why should I be sad
    To welcome endless day?

    Christ leads me through no darker rooms
    Than He went through before;
    He that unto God’s kingdom comes
    Must enter by this door.
    Come Lord, when grace hath made me meet
    Thy blessed face to see;
    For if Thy work on earth be sweet
    What will thy glory be!

    Then I shall end my sad complaints
    And weary sinful days,
    And join with the triumphant saints
    That sing my Savior’s praise.
    My knowledge of that life is small,
    The eye of faith is dim;
    But ‘tis enough that Christ knows all,
    And I shall be with Him.”

    Sad to hear he's gone, but happy for his destination...
