A second program, "Sentimental Journey" in which he resurrected old gramophone records from the ABC's record library, as well as his own and those of fellow enthusiasts, followed in 1978. Both continued after he "officially" retired in 1989.His last years were blighted by dementia, cared for by one-time colleague Nona Wood. He had been diagnosed with a brain tumor but died in a nursing home at Collaroy following a heart attack.".
