msc 18,536 Posted September 19, 2018 That's a shame, I always liked his little meandering comedic tales on My Word (basically, mishear a common phrase and explain it...), and the TV goofs stuff was frequently on. Good age though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeathClock 379 Posted September 20, 2018 Apparently, his wife, whom he was married to for 75 years died two months ago. Maybe that helped him kick the bucket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
