    Whenever I hear the word quintessential I always think of Richard Briers. I don't know why or quintessential what exactly though.

    RIP

    There was something so warm and endearing of him as Tom in The Good Life, he played it with gusto, and it seems that he was much like this in real life. One of those people that naturally puts you in a good mood. R.I.P Mister.
