Sadly died of cancer. Apparently fought it for some time, but kept it private.

That’s a shame. I had no idea he was 70.
It’s weird: 10 years ago I would’ve said, “Well, 70 is a good long life, right?” But now I have parents that age and it doesn’t feel that old.

"Too young" keeps on going up as your parents get older.

Yeah, 70 is too young.
I think most people imagine themselves living until 90-100. Sadly there aren’t any guarantees in life.
