REGINA — Saskatchewan’s lieutenant governor has died of pancreatic cancer. William Thomas Molloy, who had held the position since March 2018, died Tuesday at the age of 78. The chief justice of Saskatchewan, along with members of the province’s Appeal Court, assumed the lieutenant-governor’s duties starting in May while he was undergoing treatment. Molloy was originally from Saskatoon and had a legal career in which he negotiated numerous treaty settlements and agreements. “His Honour had a lasting impact on our province and nation in his five decades of dedicated service,” Moe said in a statement.
