Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Just found out about this local legends passing. Rufus was a GP years ago but he tragically lost his wife & children. This sent him over the edge and for years you would see him walking around Wood Green shouting at no one in particular but just shouting. Harmless local character who will be sadly missed on the streets around N22. RIP Rufus.

I did hear about the wife and kids (in a fire so I heard), but I never knew he was a GP.

Familiar face. RIP.

A local woman introduced me to him as ' Aaron' and he lived in the neighbouring block to mine. Saying 'Hello' to him always stopped him shouting near me. It took 20 years but eventually he'd nod at me in recognition. I knew about the tragedy but not that he was formerly a GP. A sad loss of a local character. Rest in Power.

A neighbour tells me that his full name was Aaron Gayle 

Sorry to hear of Rufus's death. I'll miss seeing (and hearing) him around. At least he is finally at peace.
