A real shame. He came to do our store reopening in Leeds a few years back. Told a succession of rubbish gags and had us all in stitches. It really was the way he told them.

Sad news indeed.

I met him years ago at a B&Q conferance in Rome. He did a routine and mention people in it who had won prizes. He was a warm kind hearted genuinly funny man. An old style commedian who told jokes that had you in stiches.
