He should have had much longer to enjoy the fruits of his labours, he was such a good chap in every way.

I loved the story of how he got into acting, never knew that before.

Rest in Peace Bob, you won't be forgotten in a hurry

So sad, he was a great man, a great actor and an ambassador for us Londoners. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I hope some TV channel puts on at least one of his great films over the weekend

for me I would love to see again

The Long Good Friday (a tale of things to come)
or
Mona Lisa
or
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (at a push!)

I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
