The peak moment of my life was when I was working at a boatyard near where John Dunsworth lived. I was cleaning a boat one day and he drove up and parked next to me in his extremely beat down truck. He came up to me and looked at a piece of rope that was attached to the boat, then said "It's incredible how they make this, isn't it?" Starstruck, I said "Yeah". He walked away.

A great man. RIP.

A wonderful actor, a wonderful character, a wonderful show. He also did great work on Haven and in community theatre in Halifax. TPB is an absolute maelstrom of crazy, but at its heart it's a show about a group of people who really do care about each other. Dunsworth and Lahey were a massive part of it. RIP.
