Met him several times backstage at the Poole Arts Centre during panto season. Lovely person and often caused the cast to laugh during performances despite clearly not being well. Will be sadly missed.

I loved Play Away even though I was actually too old for it - a very clever man - will be missed

So many childhood memories - "Here is a box, a musical box wound up and ready to play. This box has a secret inside, can you guess what is in it today?"
