his like

Former British prime minister Gordon Brown: "His life was just an extraordinary journey, from beginning to end, with such an effect, both on his own country, and on the rest of the world. So, enjoy today, enjoy and celebrate what he achieved. We may not see his like again."

My question is amidst the last sentence. I think the meaning of the sentence is: we may not see the people like him again. Am I right? And could you make another expression to substitute this phrase?

e.g. of fruit= fruity
