Benjamin Cardozo, a native New Yorker, had a heart attack in late 1937, and was invited to stay at the Port Chester home of his friend, Judge Irving Lehman, while he recovered. Cardozo and Lehman had served together on the New York Court of Appeals years earlier, and remained close throughout their careers.
In early 1938, while still recovering from his MI, Cardozo suffered a stroke. He became weaker and more debilitated from that point, and died on July 9, 1938, at the age of 68.
Along with Louis Brandeis, whom Cardozo admired and served with for years, Benjamin Cardozo is considered by many to be one of the greatest legal philosophers in the history of the US Supreme Court.

How many minorities have been US Supreme Court justices?
Well, before anyone can answer that, we need to know "How are you defining 'minorities'?" Women ? (who technically aren't a minority) Blacks? Hispanics? But how about "Jewish"? They're a minority. As are Catholics. And "Italian-American". For that matter, I'm pretty sure every one of them has had a post-graduate degree, which puts all of them in a minority group. What he/she said^^ is a very good point. If your talking about African-Americans there have been two, but without clearer information I cannot answer your question fully.
