Sad to hear of his death - an eccentric, of that there is no doubt, certainly an influence on my generation - ToTP, Jim'll Fix it etc. Not my type of entertainer in reality, but certainly a one off and the country is a poorer place for his passing. I certainly enjoyed Jim'll Fix It as a kid.
Some friends of mine met him on a cruise (he was off duty !) and recalled he was a nice bloke with little or no of the luvviness that pervades the industry these days. He spotted them in a crowd years later in somewhere exotic and remembered them, and also followed up on a promise to visit them at the cafe they owned.
