I could not attend but have been thinking about today RIP Lucien

My wife and I attended Lucien's funeral this afternoon in the leafy district of North London - Golders Green. The chapel was a full house as one might have expected. His family and friends had carefully prepared the service, readings and eulogies and there were amusing and touching video recordings of him from his early childhood through to the final months of his life - including a minute's worth of Lucien laughing uncontrollably which had us doing the same!

We wrote to each other and I visited him several times: I wish now I had spent more time with him before he was struck down with cancer. One of his friends was at pains to say how much he derived satisfaction, enjoyment, comfort and support from the Electricians' Forum.

My wife and I left with great admiration for him. He was clearly loved immensely - but maybe I should put this in the present tense - is still loved immensely in the many memories folk retain of him.

I was able to attend and as Marconi says, it was a carefully prepared service and a true celebration of all things Lucien.

For me, the most memorable bit was meeting a young lad who had traveled all the way from Bradford to pay his respects. This passionate collector of full size cinema projectors had never met Lucien in person but because Lucien had helped him so much on another forum he felt the need to attend.

I think this typifies the respect others had for Lucien's incredible knowledge.

So sad, will miss him but will never forget him. We will see him on the other side one day.

Sadly missed, respected and very knowledged member of the forum, knowledge and understanding beyond my own hence my respect, he has messaged in private and limited access areas of the forum to his condition, such a sad time to see a well respected member of the forum leave us like this, I'm a seasoned electrical engineer of 35 yrs and still this guy taught me stuff . RIP !
