Nice tribute - I'd heard he was a real gent both on and off the screen.
I've been working my way through old episodes of The Avengers on one of the
channels here in the UK, and it'll be sad to watch the next one knowing he's
no longer around.

Dear Mopos -
Just a word or two about Patrick MacNee. Quite simply, he was a great
guy. I grew up thinking (knowing) he was the coolest cat that ever drove a
sports car and he was in my mind the only actor who could match Sean Connery
spy-fighting, drinking martinis with sexy and dangerous women, and foiling
international plots. His son, Rupert, is one of my best buddies and I’ve
met Patrick a number of times over the past 30 years and he was so kind and
friendly. Patrick was a trooper up to the end. And when he was too old to
go to an autograph show, Rupert would go for him and tape his fans sending
him their best. Rupert was always bringing me one funny Patrick thing or
another, a bubble gum card or an old VHS tape that Patrick signed and sent
to me for my collection. So generous of spirit. He loved his fans as much as
they loved him. Have had a lot of laughs with those guys. Patrick will
be missed by his legions of fans and friends.
