Thread Name: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile of BBC [2011]
Subject: RE: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile UK
My wife knew Jimmy when he was at the height of his fame. He used to go to the club she was managing in York., he was wonderful with all the staff, generous, considerate and down to earth.
She says he was an absolute gentleman at all times, even running her home in the early hours to York and having tea and biscuits with her mum and her before driving on to Scarborough to see 'the Duchess'.
The world is a dimmer place without him in it.
RIP Sir Jimmy, I wish I'd a memory like that too. Never heard anything bad about him - I'm glad about that.
