In many ways, Venturi was lucky to be able to come back. He had a mild heart attack and underwent a quintuple-bypass on Dec. 1, 2006 at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Venturi made secret trips between his Florida home and California for cancer treatments—and he met Kathleen. She gave him a whole new lease on life. His prostate cancer is now 100 percent cured.
