He lived just around the corner for me and was still a legend till the end. Every year he’d give a little speech at the local fireworks event, Selsey will not be the same without him.

He helped me find the empty bottle on Link to the Past!
Some kid had the same problem on Gamesmaster.
Alas, Patrick is no Moore…
