However it sounds like he was still going strong, keeping busy, with all his faculties, until the end.
If I can keep going like that until I'm 86, and then go out on a high, I think it wouldn't be such a bad way to go - far better than gradually fading away. |
Agreed. In the obit in today's Independent, it mentioned that he had all kinds of interests including bird watching and calligraphy and had spent two years at Camberwell College of Arts. He obviously had passion for many things and said "As we journey through life, discarding baggage along thw way, we should keep an iron grip. to the very end, on the capacity for silliness. It preserves the soul from dessication". Hear hear.
