I knew Hubert Gregg personally in the 1970's. He was then in his 60s and I was in my late 20s but he had such a youthfulo personality the age difference wasn't a problem.

I didn't even know who he was until I was at his flat one day and heard him on the radio - he had chosen this way to tell me just exactly who he was as I was too young to remember most things he had done.

He had an enormous zest for life (it came as no surprise to me that he married a much younger wife third time around - and coincidentally another member of his family had a girlfriend with a similar age gap so there must have been something in the genes!) and I remember him with great pleasure.
