We had very sad news from Lyn le Grice, that Jeremy died on Thursday. He was being nursed at home and died peacefully with his family around him.
Jeremy has been a big part of Les Bassacs since we started in 1990. This year was the first year that he wasn't teaching his popular oil painting course. This was due to his ill health. His inimitable style, his zest for life, his enthusiasm and energy and his good-humoured optimism will be sorely missed by us and those who knew him. We send our condolences to Lyn, his children, Tom, Anna, Harriet and Jude as well as to his grandchildren.
The funeral Service is at St Buryan Parish Church on Thursday, 23rd August at 2.00pm. Family flowers only but donations, in his memory, for The Cornwall Historic Churches Trust may be sent to Marcus Wilkinson, Alfred Smith & Son, Funeral Directors, 31 Clarence Street, Penzance TR18 2NX.
Jeremy's website is a great source of information about his painting and his views on life. It is a fitting tribute to him. Go to jeremylegrice.com
