He was the best. Had the perfect look and build. I would often see him on TV... Just a super guy.

He passed a few years ago. He asked that no pictures of him in a Santa outfit be shown at his funeral, for obvious reasons. But as his casket was being taken out of the chapel, the organist played a slow, funeral arrangement of "Here Comes Santa Claus." It was so well done that very few even noticed what song it was.

Probably the only time that song ever brought tears to my eyes.
