I remember meeting him a few times and he was really generous.

My Grandad knew him somehow (not great friends I don't think, more acquaintances) - anyway, my Grandad took me into his shop once to buy some shoes and he gave us the shoes for free then took a fiver out of the till and gave it to me - bear in mind that it was about 30 odd years ago and a fiver was a fortune to me.

Apparently he always paid for the rounds in the pub (actually that's probably how my Grandad knew him, lol).

He was really generous in that respect.
