What a strange little world we live in (or, small joys on a Monday).

Okay, so this is extremely odd even for me, but this kind of really strick me for some reason. And I know nothing about this man, never even heard of him before in my life prior to today, but I can't help but feel that a bright light has gone out of the world all the same. He was possessed of all the delightful British excentricity I so adore, and it just made me smile and think how much I miss that place.

So. In case anyone wants to read a sharp, witty portrayal of an ordinary man, who was nevertheless quite extraordinary in a way only human beings can be, here it is. Kudos goes to alwaysaddled for finding it and sharing it! (Obituary in the NY Times.)

May he rest in peace. Also, I've had to resist tagging this post as #madmanwithabox, which should speak of how much I loved the man's little quirks.
