I was friends with his wife, so I had a few short conversations with him, all memorable. The one I like to share (and maybe have shared here already) is: we were talking about how good the song "Up On The Roof" is and he said the best version of it is the one by James Taylor. I asked why he thought that, and he explained the ways in which Taylor had altered and added to the chord progression; it was a barrage of technical information I couldn't follow. Though when I listened to the song I think I understood what he was talking about.
