My ex-wife's old boss. Total larrikin, served as tail gunner Lancaster WW2, shot down three (3) times. Escaped twice from Europe, third time ditched in Channel. They furloughed him after that, because nobody would get in a plane with the "Jonah".

Returned and started a small 2 person company, broom closet size premises, marketing of all things "this new fangled heat shrink plastic". Who the hell is gonna buy that? This was in the very early days, and became a rather large, lucrative and well known packaging company, where he drove himself to work every day till his 90's, loved by all.

The most clever, talented, kind, courteous, generous, genuine and funny man I have ever met.
