I only met him once, during trying circumstances for my family, and in those circumstances he was friendly and compassionate without any of the trademark luvviness of his public persona.
He seems to have been a complicated character, with some good and some bad traits (possibly magnified by his business dealings), but on that personal level I found him likeable and approachable so I can see both sides of other people's views of him.
Objectively, he wasn't a successful chairman and it all ended in rancour and bitterness. Over the last few years I felt his interaction with the fans was poorly judged and divisive, but I still can't understand the level of hate projected by a tiny minority. I have read some really atrocious stuff since his death which does us all a disservice.
Anyway, the least we can do now is show some dignity and respect for another human being whose time has passed.
