It’s...

Terry Jones 1 February 1942 – 21 January 2020

RIP

“I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs, moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him, but if you didn’t, you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us.” -Eric Idle

“It feels strange that a man of so many talents and such endless enthusiasm, should have faded away so gently.” -John Cleese

“Terry was someone totally consumed with life… a brilliant, constantly questioning, iconoclastic, righteously argumentative and angry but outrageously funny and generous and kind human being… and very often a complete pain in the ass. One could never hope for a better friend.” -Terry Gilliam

“Terry was one of my closest, most valued friends. He was kind, generous, supportive, passionate about living life to the full. He was far more than one of the funniest writer performers of his generation, he was the complete Renaissance comedian - writer, director, presenter, historian, brilliant children’s author, and the warmest, most wonderful company you could wish to have. I feel very fortunate to have shared so much of my life with him.” -Michael Palin
