Lincoln Alexander, the 24th Lieutenant Govenor of Ontario, has passed away. He was 90.
Current Lieutenant Govenor David Onley made the announcement Friday morning.
"I am profoundly saddened to learn of the death of The Honourable Lincoln MacCauley Alexander, 24th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario," Onley said in a statement.
"Lincoln Alexander, known to all and sundry as 'Linc,' was a living legend in his hometown of Hamilton," he said.
Alexander's wife, Marni Beal, said he died around 8:15 a.m. Friday.
She said he passed away very peacefully.
"I've been sleeping beside him since he's been at the General," Beal told CBC Hamilton.
"He was sleeping, and the breath just went out of him."
"A great Canadian, a great man," Onley said. "In the name of her majesty and the people of Ontario, our condolences to his wife Marni and his family."
Beal said Alexander will be lying in state at Queens Park, and then at Hamilton City Hall.
His funeral service will take place at Copps Coliseum, she said.
