Veteran producer and writer Peter Kavanagh died on September 7, 2016, at the age of 63. Peter's first job at the CBC was on the morning radio show in Sydney, Cape Breton, just over 28 years ago.

Fiercely intelligent and occasionally cantankerous, Peter Kavanagh – the storied CBC producer, author and devoted family man – suffered from pain all his life but was loath to let others see it.
