There have been rumours, at least locally, that he had been battling cancer for a while now. He was very involved in local politics and the arts (especially a community theatre in his town).
Although I expect that there may a lot of people at his memorial/funeral/wake, I do hope that people respect his family's privacy. People in that area are usually really good when it comes to giving people their space.
As for calling him a "celebrity" - someone else did - I don't see him as such. He was an actor and a philanthropist. The world is missing a good man now, but his legacy will go on.
