Remembering the death of 'I Love Lucy' star Desi Arnaz in 1986
“Arnaz was a regular smoker for much of his life and often smoked cigarettes on the set of I Love Lucy.[49] He smoked cigars until he was in his sixties.[50] Arnaz was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1986 and underwent treatment. Lucille Ball visited him during this time in the hospital and the two watched VHS tapes of I Love Lucy.[43] His daughter Lucie was by his side constantly during his final days.
On November 30, 1986, on what would have been their 46th wedding anniversary, Ball telephoned him and they spoke for a short time, including saying "I love you." She finished by saying, "Alright, honey. I'll talk to you later."[36] He died two days later on December 2, 1986, at the age of 69. Arnaz was cremated and his ashes scattered. Ball was one of hundreds to attend Arnaz's funeral, which was held at St. James Roman Catholic Church in San Diego County, California.[51] His death came just five days before Lucille Ball received the Kennedy Center Honors. His mother outlived him by almost two years.” - Wikipedia
