Many tributes have already been made, including one from Joe Van Langenberg & “your’s truly”, in Australia<\/span><\/p>\n

on eLanka. My apologies for naming Tuesday the 29th of December as the day of his passing, it was actually Monday, the 28th, according to a much more reliable source, his son, Steve.<\/span><\/p>\n

This, together with this main “son re- father” account of his dad’s hectic, wonderful, & remarkable life, in a brief but touching tribute\/semi-autobiog.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Chris was a truly multi-talented individual, never satisfied with seeing the world pass by without his involvement in something or the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most times, it was both.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On behalf of eLanka, I would like to say thank you to Stephen Greet for this more in-depth story on the man who was his dad. It’s a great story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please read about Greet, his life & times. May he now rest in peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Greet: A portrait by Dominic Sansoni.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Raconteur, actor, announcer, missionary, musician, father, grandfather and other rather more dubious credentials, Dad ended his days, still singing, still laughing, loud and ludicrous.\u00a0He went quickly and was in no pain.\u00a0 A blessing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We last saw him on Christmas Eve.\u00a0 We met through a glass door, the COVID way, to sing carols and say Merry Christmas.\u00a0 In truth, it seemed to me, as if Dad had decided it was now time to go home.\u00a0 Lots of family and so many loved ones waiting, such parties to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He leaves behind three children \u2013 Natalie, Mariko and Stephen and eight grandchildren \u2013 Charith, Luke, Chelsea, Gabby, Sam, Emily, Hitoshi and Yukiko.\u00a0 Getting to see one\u2019s kids grown up and to read stories to your grandkids seems to me, a further blessing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dad was born to Martin and Ada Greet (nee Paynter,) both of the India Christian Mission.\u00a0 He was the youngest of four: Aunty Averill, Uncle Noel, Aunty Evangeline and Dad, as pictured below in a painting by their uncle David Paynter. He was educated in India, in Sri Lanka (at S. Thomas\u2019 College) and at a couple of English public schools, one being Berkhamsted Boys.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He left England at the age of 18 and spent his formative years in what was then known as Ceylon.\u00a0 That resplendent isle captured his heart.\u00a0 England was home but Sri Lanka was his joy.\u00a0 His greatest friends were those he made in those formative years at Radio Ceylon, bringing jazz to the country, or so the story goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/p>\n

The final goodbye: Son Stephen and daughter-in-law Nicky singing Christmas carols the COVID way through a glass door on Christmas Eve in London<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dad spent most of his early working life in Colombo, working in Radio, as previously mentioned, in Advertising at Intasel and Grants, on the stage and making movies like Rampage (he won Best Supporting Actor at the first Presidential Awards back in 1979 and Seetha Devi\/Reincarnation, with a group of friends I have heard described, as the Ceylon Rat Pack\u2026\u00a0 You all know who you are!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talie and I fondly recall the times we all spent together: the magical Paynter Homes\u2019 carol service in Nuwara Eliya and the elaborate shows we all put on together in Colombo.\u00a0 We had little choice but to share our Dad with our friends at the homes.\u00a0 I like to imagine, we mostly did this graciously.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dad moved back to the UK in the early 80s and enjoyed a varied and eventful career spanning many genres.\u00a0 He played Gemma Atherton\u2019s uncle, in the Disney movie \u2018Prince of Persia\u2019; has many TV credits to his name, including Victoria Woods \u2018Dinner Ladies\u2019, Dinotopia, Alice in Wonderland and The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells.\u00a0 He performed at the British National Opera in \u2018Cosi fan tutte\u2019, played Bernard Shaw at the Shaw Society and was even encased naked in a glass box and presented in Regent\u2019s Park as a living sculpture.\u00a0 As you can imagine I didn\u2019t see that one.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dad had three loves in his life.\u00a0 Our Mum \u2013 Anne Loos (mother of Talie and Steve and Koshi), Aunty Kumiko (Mariko\u2019s mother)\u00a0 and the lovely Dee Campbell who he married in 1985 and who broke his heart by passing away far too early.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/p>\n

A David Paynter (Uncle David) portrait of the three Greet children<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Noel (Dad\u2019s older brother) once said to me that a life well lived was one that leaves the world a better place for one having been through it. If ever there was an example of a life well lived, and time well spent, it was exemplified by Dad.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be honest, he might have been more successful in any of his many endeavours, especially since he started off in one of the most iconic movies ever \u2013 The Bridge on the River Kwai. To Dad, however, success seemed to be measured in living in the moment and having as much fun in that moment as is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dad recounted a time when he was on the set of \u2018Bridge\u2019 having a drink with Sir Alec Guinness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dad<\/strong>: \u201cSo\u2026 Alec\u2026 do you think I should do this for a living?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

AG<\/strong>: \u201cOnly if one has a rich uncle dear boy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Far more amusing and embarrassing stories abound, from all his many friends, now spread across the world.\u00a0 I trust you all meet and reminisce from time to time, especially seeing as Dad now lives in our memories and through stories.\u00a0 Many friends have over the years, shared with me what a great source of joy he was to them.\u00a0 To all his great friends around the world, for those of you who knew and loved him, I would ask you to raise a glass, with us, his family, in wishing him a safe journey home.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should you find yourself in Nuwara Eliya \u2013 kindly pop in visit and please continue to support the Paynter homes, one of Dad\u2019s great passion projects, and maybe, in a quiet moment, high in those misty hills, you might just sense something of him.\u00a0 In the place that was\u2026 for Dad\u2026 forever Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with everything these days, Dad\u2019s final farewell will be governed by COVID.\u00a0 That said, the plan is that we have a Thanksgiving and Memorial for him, sometime in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The location?\u00a0 Two of Dad\u2019s favourite places \u2013 Church and then the pub.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
