“My heart has been broken every day for a long time,” she said, though adding her husband had stayed positive through the end. “I never once heard him grumble.”
“We were happy, we were always laughing, we never had a dull moment. He had dementia for four years and we didn’t really notice it at first until the memory started going,” she added.
Sachs was born in Germany and had a great career as an actor on screen, stage and radio. He was well known for his role as Manuel in the classic BBC comedy, but had several other roles, including a stint as a voice actor in a Doctor Who story.
