Kijner told TMZ on Friday that her late ex-husband died after briefly battling an illness.
“So, so many people loved you because you were a kind, giving, caring and creative soul,” said Kijner in her tribute.
In his long TV and movie career, Crombie also appeared in various episodes of As the World Turns (1989), Law & Order (1991), and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993).
Tributes poured in for the late star, with comedian Lewis Black writing on X “Am heartbroken by the death of my good friend Peter Crombie. He was a gifted artist. Not only was he a wonderful actor but an immensely talented writer. More importantly he was as sweet as he was intelligent and I am a better person for knowing him.”
