I won an award... It's on the wall in my office

Today we remember the wonderful British character actor Victor Spinetti who passed away on June 18, 2012, at the age of 82. This is my personal remembrance of him.
Over the years, because of a mutual friend, Beatles scholar Martin Lewis, I had the opportunity to spend many hours one on one with Victor.

One time, I was helping coordinate logistics at a screening of A Hard Day's Night that Victor had flown in to Hollywood to attend in July, 2007. During the screening we spent most of the time in a small restaurant across the street, but for a while we went back to the theater, and I got to sit next to him as we sat in the back row to watch part of the film. This is my favorite memory of him, sitting in that theater, watching Victor watch the film, smiling and enjoying it with the rest of the audience.
There's no wonder why the Beatles liked him and put him in every one of their movies. He was the warmest, kindest, most wonderful soul I ever met on this planet. The time I got to spend with him was a wonderful gift which I will never forget. I still miss Victor Spinetti greatly.
