read yesterday that he'd passed away. met the bloke quite a few times in the course of an old job and quite a few times since. always found him polite and enthusiastic about the town, even tho i didn't agree with his politics one bit. he did loads of legwork for local and national charities, and should be remembered with fondness for that.

rip.

The taxi gadgie?

Me dad used to drive for him when his business was very small, said he was a canny bloke back then.
