I was a big fan and he's stayed at Lynn's hotel a few times when in town. I had the impression he may have been a bit of an a-hole in his personal life, but in actuality, his on-air personality and personal were one and the same. Nothing fake or pretentious. He'd always step outside to smoke and never had a problem signing autographs and chatting with fans who would recognize him. Around the hotel, he was always very nice and polite to anyone he came in contact with. An all around nice guy really. Of all the places he's been in the world, he once said that once he retires, he'd like to move to Thailand. So, we had a bit in common. I believe all that changed once he got married and the last I heard was possible retirement in France. I guess it's more fun to be single than married when it comes to living in Thailand. I watched ALL his shows and was generally a pretty big fan. He'll be missed. Who knows what demons he was facing.
