My Grandfather Chu Teh Chun lived a extraordinary life. I am deeply saddened today to inform everyone that he has pass today. He was in the comfort of our family in Paris when he passed. I am extremely proud of his life and all his achievements. He got to lived out not only his DREAM, but PAYED the rent with his PASSION. That is something I will always treasure and admire. As an artist, that is ALL you can ever want. Lets celebrate his life. May his LEGACY live on through his Exquisite Works. :D Chu Teh-Chun was born in 1920 in the district of Jiangsu, China.
