Chunky Huse was born in Shepperton, England at the beginning of World War Two. By the age of 17 he had a successful rock band called The Missing Links and had started on his family of five with his first wife Queenie. He had also started what became a legendary career in the film industry, following in his father’s footsteps. Over time he created Grip House in the UK and when he became a citizen of the US he created Gypsy Grips. Along the way he helped create and develop film equipment that is still used.
He is survived by his widow Cornelia (Nini) Rogan, Edith (Queenie)Huse, his second wife Gay Huse and all of his children. Derek Huse, Lindsey Huse, Kevin Huse, Malcolm Huse and Zinnia Holmes.
Malcolm and Kevin have followed in Chunky’s footsteps in his beloved film industry. He is also survived by 24 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
