From an obituary-
"Read, a sunny, good-natured and modest character who did not take himself too seriously, only rarely bristled when asked about the Krays in later life. The former Daily Telegraph crime correspondent, John Weeks, recalled that “the only time I saw him get annoyed was when I asked him about (the Krays) doing good for OAPs , taking them to the seaside in charabancs. He said ‘that’s the biggest load of crap. They did nothing at all’.”"

Considering he could have been the victim of revenge, to reach the age of 95 was certainly a good innings.
