Lucien Nunes Electrical Engineer Extraordinaire

[Mark W]

His tributes are coming in from far and wide. Here is a picture that has been shared by one of his best mates. Our tribute last night, we have had confirmation the fog horn reached at least 2 miles and a whole village in Staffordshire now knows Lucien Nunes!

Towards the end you could see how powerful his enthusiasm was as it was being attacked by this dreaded illness. On more than one occasion I had to tell him to rest over the telephone so he could take a breather as he was not going to let this situation get in the way. At the end of each telephone call this enthusiasm had triumphed over the thing that was trying to take it away.

A brilliant teacher

He was very good at getting points across, whether on forums like this or in videos like you have shared there.

We actually had one of those orange hairdryers in the 70s.

The thing that keeps coming back to me about Lucien is his braveness in the face of his mortality. I was always puzzled almost at how he faced his affliction without a word of compaint or self pity. I only hope I am able to muster such courage at such a time. R.I.P and most sincere condolences to the family and close ones.

He seemed to have a gift for being able to understand things beyond most of us.
Maybe that had something to do with it?

I always wanted to meet Lucien. He won't know it but I had followed him on many many forums over the years and shared a few insightful chats with him over here. He was a true font of all knowledge electrical and our industry is truly worse off without him.

Such sad news. The loss of a great man, mind. Our thoughts from Scotland are with the family and we’ll raise a dram.

I've only just seen this and read every post, every single one is from the heart and confirm what an incredible man Lucien was.
Personally I feel very sad , much more than you'd expect from someone you've never met, I think that says a lot about his influence on all of us too. I'd like to think he's moved on to a far better place.

I never met Lucien in person. He's helped me out loads on the forum over the years in a kind and patient way.
I know I never met the guy but I really liked him and Its very upsetting.
RIP lovely man.

Been away for a few days and just caught up with the incredibly sad news about Lucien. As all others have said, a fantastic man and absolute genius with his thinking and knowledge. Through the forum I have found out things from him I wouldn't have had a clue about but his name will live on for a very long time. Rest in peace Lucien, you definitely made a difference to life
