Actually I am pretty sure that "eccentric" is not a fair
characterisation of his personality, but can't resist.

He was my thesis advisor and he was pretty eccentric. In a nice way,
but still quite a character.

Back in my day, eccentric was used in the British fashion to point out
a person with certain qualities that make him instantly memorable, but not in any bad way. The Characters on Monty Python were eccentric !!
Now it means a person with creepy qualities.
