    He was a great guy wasn't he? He was very generous with his time with me and very patient too. He wouldn't take any rubbish but he had a good sense of humour. He was hugely talented, quietly proud of what he had achieved but not one to big-note. I feel privileged to have known him.

    Even his signature had style...
