Longtime meteorologist Geoff Fox has passed away, leaving generations of news viewers mourning.

His wife, Helaine, shared the news of his death following a battle with pancreatic cancer on his Facebook page on Wednesday.

“I’m sorry to say Geoff lost his battle last night and passed away in his sleep,” she began. “All the thoughts, prayers, and memories you posted kept Geoff going these past few months. He really was grateful for the connection he shared with all of you.”

“As public of a life he lived, his wish was to be cremated with no fanfare,” she added of the veteran Connecticut broadcaster. “I will honor his wish. Though it will be impossible to answer everyone’s posts, I promise to read each and every one of them. Thank you for loving Geoff. He really loved all of you, too.”
