Is it possible that he gave LinkedIn access to his email account and he has your address in his email? Alternatively, could he have viewed your LinkedIn page? Maybe LinkedIn recommend connections that way also.

I doubt he viewed my page (I was a random customer from years ago), but the fact that he might have connected his e-mail account sounds plausible.
