Some time back there was an article about this fellow and the tallest man in the world that showed them together. What a contrast! http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/13/living/tallest-shortest-man-guinness/index.html
He lived to the age of 75 (11/30 he'd have been 76). Not too bad, still sad he died and may he rest in peace.
