    I liked his act. Used to be one of the few funny/talented interludes on something otherwise filled by Tarbie or Brucie or Bernie Clifton.

      Note to new members--when it comes to getting an obituary on OTF, the bar is sometimes very low.

      Mike Yarwood and Billy "Mr Billy" Boyle are still with us, by the way.

        Just read an obituary and learned that he was gay. Did everyone know that, and it passed me by?
        Apparently he "died in his husband's arms, clutching a rosary", which is an interesting juxtaposition.

        He was certainly with a (younger) woman when me and a few friends bumped into him very late at night in Hull about 30 years ago. He was a bit edgier off screen, based on that one meeting. He actually made genuine efforts to point us in the right direction/hook us up with what we were seeking.
