How sad it is only to hear, now, of the passing of Baz in MARCH 2020. I lived with Baz for a couple of years in Crocky Hill in the early 1980s while studying for my PhD. I had a wonderful time living there and shared many memorable moments with Baz and friends. Although I lost touch over the intervening 40 years I will always cherish my Bile Beans print and memories of Baz.
I would love to send a card to his family as a mark of respect if someone from your community could get in touch with a forwarding address or email.
Yours Sincerely
Shaun

I was a good friend of Baz and a fellow artist painter. I knew Baz from his Hull days in the late sixties and we exhibited our paintings in York and Middlesbrough Art galleries in 1982. I am having a one man exhibition at the Cargo Fleet Heritage Gallery in Middlesbrough at the moment till 9/9/22.

Am pleased you enjoy the site, thank you.
