I have some incredibly sad news to share with you all..

Lucien lost his battle with cancer just after 5pm today.

He was surrounded by his family, a few friends and passed away peacefully.

There are electrical engineers and then you had Lucien.


Sit down and play this as loud as you can, it seems to be the only song that fits the evening.

I will try and keep you updated with further details unless others do.

We will be sounding our fog horn from the ocean liner RMS windsor castle tomorrow evening after I have warned the village. An eccentric gesture for a kind and eccentric person.

I have just discovered another thread of tributes to Lucien in a group about ancient theatre lighting on Facebook - it seems his knowledge and gift for educating was universal.

This was posted - a younger Lucien in happier times (holding a Mercury Arc rectifier, naturally!)

My heart goes out to Lucien’ family. What terrible news to read about his passing and I will say this that man was a gift from God and showed his brilliance with every word he spoke. I’m personally going to miss him even though I never met him but I loved reading his posts and replies. RIP our brother. ❤️🙏

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.

Yes! I first read of his passing on the British Pipe Organs facebook group.
Something I've been reflecting on is that in all of these diverse areas a very common comment is "I had very much hoped to meet him some day".
Maybe we should all get on with meeting the people we plan to meet.

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.

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