Strange as I had just posted about him. Anyone who's lived in the Silver Lake area knows who I'm talking about. He was a ubiquitous presence. Walked up and down the streets of Silver Lake reading a paper for something like 8 hours a day. I think we all assumed he was immortal. He was found dead in his hot tub.
