Well, technically speaking, he did. He was given the last rites anyway, which is Catholic for You're Dead.

I almost died when I was a teenager (meningitis) and a lot of Lauda's words about hovering close to death had great resonance to me. So I thank him for that.

I like this bit!

My Dad once sat next to him, on his only ever long haul flight (my Dad's only long haul flight, that is - I'm pretty sure Fonda would have made a few more).

Son of a celebrity at any rate; he had a very troubled life.

Sad, I liked Nicholas Parsons, a very witty happy chappy.

A legend and remembered for his flamboyant jackets
