I love how much of a sucker for sweets he was, especially chocolate. Knowing that a Brandy Alexander was his favorite drink because it tasted like a milkshake seems so fitting for him!

And a new one I learned recently after interviewing his former defense attorney Jay Bergen - he would always say yes to an autograph so long as he wasn’t in the middle of a meal. He was always a very shy individual and never wanted to make anyone upset. At his core, he was respectful and good at heart

The fact that he didn't know how to show affection so he gave gifts to everyone, even his fans. I think it's cute.

I think Major & Minor are the 2 most famous cats he owned. He also had one named Jesus, from what I understand.

I love the fact he used to walk on the beach that backed on to Aunt Mimi’s bungalow at Sandbanks in Poole quietly and un-noticed alone with his thoughts. The only reason being it’s just 5 miles or so from where I live and the fact John could just be himself so close to here is comforting in a strange way.

I love the fact the he was so sensitive and romantic. For example, he used say "I love you" every day to Yoko. Yoko also said that John cried after reading a book "The first sex". John told her that he didn't realize that women were treated so badly.

Talk about being "bigger than Jesus"

There are too many amazing, worthwhile things to share - but one that I always really enjoy is that although he was so iconoclastic, he was such a deep sentimentalist at heart.

I'm always warmed by his fondness of novelty items and knick-knacks, his deep affection and illustrative memories of Scotland and his family trips as a child, and his intense devotion to both Liverpool and New York City and the way he closely held them both as part of his own identity.

(It would be great if more people realized being both rebellious to norms and embracing traditions can co-exist, but intuitively knowing is perhaps part of what makes John so special and a little more extraordinary than most people!!)

He was always so curious and I love that about him!

Another fact that I love: He always complimented people. Like when he said how David Bowie was one of the most talented person that he knew. He only had a thing about complimenting Paul but I think he was a bit shy about it...

The fact that he was working mostly in his bed. And the way he was reading : legs up, feet against the wall.

He loved the ocean/swimming! One of my favorite quotes from May Pang:

"The sea was in John's blood. Not one for pools, he preferred an open body of salt water; he would swim every day if he could. At the sea, he found peace of mind and recharged his creativity."
