“こいつええ奴だ!” 

Jolly good fellow: ええ奴
'For he's' is used to identicate the person, so I thought an informal form of : 'この人' or 'こいつ’ would work best.

This is my best guess. The phrase is from an old (drinking) song used to celebrate someoneelse's good fortune.

In it's entirety, it goes:
'For He's a jolly good fellow, that no one else can deny.'

Hope this helps...
