My one Tony Hoare (RIP) story:
We got him to keynote our conference one year. We snapped him up afterwards along with a couple of other speakers for dinner, as we usually did, hoping to partake of his wisdom in a more private setting, but Joe Armstrong (also RIP) sat down next to him and started conversing excitedly, and none of the rest of us got a word in edgewise for the rest of the evening.
I realise this was probably more of a Joe Armstrong story.

Such a nice guy! I still remember the time he sent me mail saying "You're working on some very interesting ideas, what can I do to help?"
Sir Tony, isn't the question what I can do to help you? -
