Ronnie Barker - rest in peace.

Ronnie Barker died last night. He gave me and millions of others of all generations more laughs over the years - than anybody. His TV shows - The Two Ronnies (with Ronnie Corbett), Porridge and Open All Hours were hilarious. People loved him for his comedy and good nature. He got massive audiences on the BBC in the 70's in 80's. Ronnie retired at age 58 at the top of his popularity to run an antique shop and be among his family. He admitted to being very shy in private.
The happy well adjusted comic - almost a contradiction in terms
