Old schoolfriend of mine. Went to France with him when we were 15. Cycled 400 miles and lived off peaches. Ended up in hospital in Cherbourg with malnutrition
He became a hermit in later life. Last saw him 10 years ago when he lived in a house piled to the ceiling with "stuff"
I stuck to the carpet
Apparently he died in there and was found after three months
RIP Dave Rudkin
