He was 75 years old. Dr. Templeton, who was known as Jack, died from cancer, said his daughter, Heather Templeton Dill. The John Templeton Foundation delayed announcing his death until after it awarded an annual prize on Monday. Dr. Templeton most recently served as president and chairman of the foundation created in 1987 by his father, investor John Templeton, a mutual- fund pioneer who started the Templeton Growth Fund in 1954. During the past 20 years, when Dr. Templeton ran the foundation, its endowment grew to 43.34 billion from 428 million. EFTA01142598
