Goodness, it makes sense that he would be that old, however
I always remember him as he was when he would jump, literally, onto the stage.
We may not see his like again.

I was in a choral group which was contracted to perform, with him,
his Twelve Liebeslieder Polkas.
He was gentle and genial to work with.

And the performance was sold out, which rarely happened for our little chorus.
