You can donate one unit of whole blood every 2 months. Or 6 times a year. It would take 167 years to donate 1000 units of whole blood.

Maybe he was donating smaller quantities, or platelets (which if I recall correctly you can donate every three days). The blood banks must have set up some sort of special collection procedure for him once his special blood was identified.
