As a kid, Roger Moore was my favorite Bond. The humor of his character was an instant attraction for me. He had much better gadgets than Connery and Lazenby. I loved the Moore villains especially Jaws. Moonraker is a crazy and weird film but I love it to this day. I grew to love all of the Bonds for different reasons but Moore’s Bond will always have a special place in my heart.
Moore saw his work with UNICEF as his top achievement. He was passionate about helping others.
Thank you, Roger Moore, for sharing your life and your life’s work with us. Rest In Peace, Mr Bond, aka Roger Moore.
