Very sad news. I dont do much cine now,but have been checking the forum for any news of Maurice.
Though not a suprise,its still a shock.

Very sad, a great loss to his family and the forum. Too many people I know have passed away over the last month or two.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends , he was a true old school gentleman who was always there for forum members and solved many a cine related problem with his incredible knowledge. Thank you Maurice from us all.

He was very much a gentleman: I don't remember him ever saying anything remotely offensive here.

Jane,
Your father was such a kind man to everyone here. His encyclopaedic knowledge of film and projectors was truly amazing. Our sympathies and prayers are with you.

Very sad news. My condolences to his family

My condolences to all Maurice's family and friends and fellow film collectors who knew him personally at this sad time .
This news is even sadder for me as it is news of yet another fellow old time traditional film cinema projectionist that has changed over to the great projection box in the sky .
It appears there are less and less of us every year .

May Maurice's soul rest in peace for eternity.

I'm very sorry to hear of Maurice's passing. I always enjoyed reading his posts and often he would be the first to chip in on my posts. I was dreading the day that this thread would appear but also expecting to happen, sooner or later. At least Maurice's wisdom lives on in the forum archive!
