But prison authorities stopped Mr Harrison from seeing Park a month before the inmate's death after they ruled he did not fit the criteria of a pastoral visitor and that Park's religious needs could be met through its chaplaincy service.
"He was a very amusing person, " says his widow, Olivia, in a phone interview from Friar Park, the longtime Harrison residence in Oxfordshire, England.
The hearing was told Park had been having regular pastoral visits from George Harrison, of the Pendlebury Evangelical Church in Swinton, Greater Manchester, whom he first met during his trial.
