About 3 years ago I shot this picture and said on Insta :

#françoisbeukelaers een monument !
Als woorden tekort schieten dan heeft hij ze wel, en verhalen...
When words fall short, he has them, and stories…

Yesterday, the not entirely unexpected news suddenly reached us that François has left us.
We knew he had been ill for quite some time and was living in a care home,
having completely lost his mental clarity.
He was a man with a deep soul for life and for art, a life filled with endlessly many stories.
I had the good fortune to work on and enjoy some theatre productions.
François possessed an immeasurable number of talents, his life was an incredible story
because, I guess, he lived it to the fullest.
