Such an amazing man kind and generous they don’t make them like that anymore!!!! And gorgeous!!
It’s a pity that the only stories they like to print is people slagging him off and not all the stories about how generous he was to so many people and organisations. They guy has been dead for 47 years now and his so called friends and family still stab him in the back by writing books & giving interviews COME ON PEOPLE the man is dead and anyone can say anything about a dead person as he is not hear to defend himself, it’s easy money for them to make
