If you'd have asked me on Monday, I'd have guessed he died in the early 00s.

Which was when he was appointed the Bahamian Ambassador to Japan, which is pretty awesome.  I think he did that for the better part of a decade.

He has one of the all time awesome sounding names.  Sounds like a character created for a Victorian era novel.

To Sir With Love was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater. Had a big impact on my life.
