The late Bud Spencer was a joy to
be around, on-screen partner Terence Hill said at his friend's
funeral Thursday at Rome's so-called Church of the Artists.
"Bud was a joy and I already know that when next we meet,
his first words will be 'you and I never had a fight'," said a
visibly moved Hill.
"Every time we met or I went over to his house for
spaghetti, Bud would remind me we never had a fight," he went
on.
"The reason is that we respected and loved one another, and
always had a good time together".
Hill also recounted how he first met Spencer on the set of
the 1967 Spaghetti Western film written and directed by Giuseppe
Colizzi 'God Forgives... I Don't!'
Spencer, whose real name was Carlo Pedersoli, died aged 86
Monday afternoon in Rome.
Born on October 31, 1929, in Naples, Spencer moved to Rome
to become a star of Spaghetti Westerns and comedies.
He played in over 130 films from the 1950s to the 2000s,
including the blockbuster They Call Me Trinity (1970), together
with co-star Hill. They pair went on to make many successful
films together.
