    Death is always sad, but that is a man who lived an incredible life.

    That’s just it, a 90yr old man who had been ill for some time has died.
    Its sad for his family and friends & i offer my condolences, but the man lived a very successful life and won fame and plaudits for his talents.

    His work will be watched for years to come and that is a form of immortality.

    Thanks for the art Dickie.

    I met Dickie once – well, I was a bike messenger in London, riding home on a Friday night and a Rolls Royce with RA 111 drove past and I thought ‘Is that Dickie in the passenger seat?’ Wearing a bow tie? (On his way to a Royal Variety Performance, I found out later…)

    Being London traffic, it was soon stopped on the Strand and I rode up and thought ‘It IS Dickie!’, so I got out my messenger clipboard and tapped on the window. He wound it down and I said ‘Excuse me, but could I get your autograph please?’
    ‘Of course, dear boy!’ he exclaimed and happily signed my grubby bit of paper. And then, being London traffic, I left them behind as I rode off.

    Based on that one experience, I’d say he was a lovely, lovely, humble and cheerful man who appeared to have lived well.
    RIP sir!
