Tony Award-winning producer and actress Angela Lansbury's younger brother Edgar Lansbury passed away on Thursday at his home in Manhattan, confirmed his son. He was 94. The cause of death is yet to be known.

Peggy Gordon, an American singer-songwriter best known for her role as Peggy in the original 1971 Off-Broadway cast of Godspell, took to Facebook on Friday to pay an ode to Lansbury.&nbsp;

She wrote, "My huge adorable and adoring Godspell family, we have now lost our surrogate daddy, Edgar Lansbury. How blessed was he to live such a full, rich, wonderful life surrounded by people who adored him. Don Scardino says there will be a memorial probably this fall. Contact any and all of your Godspell family members from all ten original companies, plus London (hi Gay) and anyone else I've missed."

Gordon added, "Man, if Joe Beruh was waiting for Edgar with a cigarette in his mouth, I have no doubt Edgar made Joe stomp on it. Love never dies. It’s an energy that only transmutes into matter. That’s all of us. So, I believe Edgar’s energy continues."
