"Such a kind man"

My grandfather lived in Germany for a while when he was in the RAF. Once when he was on vacation once he picked up a hitchhiker, who happened to be David Hasselhoff. He drove him about an hour out of his way because the Hoff was so nice. Whenever I would go to my grandfathers house and watch TV and Hasselhoff happened to come on, he would say to my grandmother, "Honey look, it's David! I picked him up once and he was such a kind man."
