Well, he was comfortable, fulfilled and happy, and left a first-class legacy. Unlike most, he managed to achieve what he wanted to achieve and still have time to relax.
Bye bye Ronnie. I'll show my children what you did

It's sad, it really is. One of my poems on my website for this month is a little haiku devoted to the man, it'll be up later.
Four candles, did you say? No! Fork handles! Handles for forks! (etc) - a classic sketch that should live on, and not to mention Open All Hours, Porridge, and so on.
So it truly is goodnight from him. The world's a much sadder place.

The Two Ronnies and Open All Hours .. thats one hell of a flashback, I even remember watching them as a kid with my parents.
What about poor Granville (David Jason) always getting wacked with the broom by him.

I think my funniest memory of him was in a mini series within the Two Ronnies show called "The Worm That Turned".... ironicly a lot of that is coming true today albeit not as silly or to that degree.

A legend in doncaster.. God rest his soul!
For those who don't know..."open all hours" was filmed in Doncaster infact in my home village of Balby, less than 1 mile away from where i live!
He will be missed deeply!

The street in which it was filmed is called "Burton Ave". Ironically in my school days i had a good friend called "Jason" who lived just doors away from it!
The shop is now an hairdressers!
