    Reg was so much more than just his On the Buses…. He was a great actor and I was lucky enough to have met him a couple of times when I was younger….. on one occasion he was opening a pizza shop where I was hanging about, we hadn’t seen pizzas before so it was a big deal for us, I told him how much I loved watching him on the TV and we spoke for a few minutes, he had asked me if I was getting a pizza and I said I didn’t have the money to buy one after a few minutes chatting he then went back inside and came out about 20 minutes later with a few boxes of pizza and gave them to us and told us to “enjoy”…. I saw him again a few years later while walking down Enfield high street and he recognised me and stopped and said hello, asked me what I was up to and if I had bought any pizzas since we last met…. He was a lovely guy…. Thank You Reg…!

    I met Reg in about 1968 when he was playing golf in a pro/ celebrity golfing match. He was playing with Dai Rees the professional golfer and Stanley Baker the actor . It was all for charity at Shirley park golf course and I seem to remember he was an accomplished golfer! Lovely man .
