At the time I was in the Hearing Aid business and he had one of our hearing aids. I went to his home and after I had reprogrammed his hearing aid he offered me a cup of tea and showed me a video game that was soon to be released (I can't remember what it was) in which he appeared in some video clips. His favourite clip was one which came up after some sort of spiderlike robot or creature had killed you and he explained how to beat it.
He was in a wheelchair back then and was around 80, but he was full of life. One of those people who's mind is constantly on the move. While talking to him, you could sense that part of him was thinking of all sorts of other things.
All in all I only spent about 45 minutes with him, but it's one of those meetings you don't forget.
