I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences to Bill Flynn's family. He once told me to always follow my dreams and I will always cherish the times I spent with him on e.tv's Toasty Show.

He was already a stage and screen giant at the time, but he had no celebrity ego. He was a true and down-to-earth gentleman. The gentle giant of South African entertainment is gone, but his legacy will live on forever.

Bill was a celebrity who chose the simple life. We've lost a giant in the industry. His selfless and warm personality is the best memory I will treasure of him.

Lala ngoxolo, smiling Bill.
