Apparently he fainted playing golf with his son on Long Island, collapsed, and was diagnosed with a stroke.
He also had spots on his lungs/liver, did chemo, and is now cancer-free, and credited the Cleveland Clinic, and felt sick for several years prior.
“The doctors at Cleveland Clinic saw me through,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate.”
The article goes on to discuss his work with the Panthers, Dale Tallon, who praises him, the new ownership, and quotes Denis Potvin.
