Even irregular listeners will mark his passing with sadness.

Always seemed a decent sort.

I always enjoyed listening to Lionel's contributions to the Today programme's 'Thought for the Day'. His 'Thoughts' were always cheery and uplifting. He was charming, sincere and amusing. My favourite contributor. RIP, Rabbi Blue.

* Lionel Blue made a programme for the BBC in which he presents his own obituary. The link is below. (The programme will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9.30pm)

My Grandad was Jewish. I am very fond of the gold fob watch he sold me on his deathbed.
