Very sad indeed. I, like thousands of other Australian's at the time, watched his title fight against Fighting Harada, & saw the broadcast of the Beatles-type crowd that went out to greet him home. I've even still got a copy of his record "I Thank You". 
He seemed like a very quiet unassuming bloke, who did a heck of a lot of behind the scenes work for the Aboriginal community.
RIP.
