Well i am one to be able to say i had the priviledge of meeting him and actually having a conversation with him and he sat in my dads car as he took him to the airport
such a loss but then again, he died in his sleep
R.I.P
I nearly ran him over once. Was about to rage at the pedestrian stepping infront of my car when I saw it was him so cheerily waved him across. Was rewarded with a trademark trip up the kerb when he reached the other side.
Used to see him a lot around town too, but didn't like to bother him apart from a quick "Hello".
