I have no words that would fully express my feelings at the loss of a true gentleman who I was fortunate enough to meet at close quarters and, I feel very privileged to have been able to shake his hand all those years ago. Rest well big man.

I was once in the Thistle Suit at Murrayfield and Doddie absolutely ripped my to pieces. Had me on stage and just had the whole room in stitches at my expense - but it was never mean humor, just a laugh and a way to entertain. Following day I wrote to Murrayfield as some of the management thought he had gone too far but I wanted to assure them no offence was ever taken. To my surprise the great man emailed me directly the following day to say thank you for being a good fall guy for him and I treasure that email and video to this very day. What a wonderful man
