David T. Grose, a local artist, passed away Wednesday, February 24, 2016. Mr. Grose was a few weeks shy of his 95th birthday. Sixty-five of those years were spent with his wife Margit Whale Grose on Cape Cod: Dennis, Massachusetts. Margit and David spent a productive life raising two children Margaret and Daniel Grose and ran a business together, Grose Gallery for over 40 years. David was an extraordinarily intelligent and gifted person in all the arts. He was the world's expert on silk screen printing. David was also was a master painter, wood engraver and illustrator. David was also known to write well and play almost every musical instrument, if not well than musically. As a member of the greatest generation he was very giving of his time. David will be missed very much by his family and all those who were closest to him. A memorial gathering will be held by his family in the Spring.

I just saw this - almost a year later. We treasure our many David Grose prints as well as the memories of him showing our young sons (now young men) how the silk screen process worked. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

I am very sorry to learn today of the prior passing of David Grose. I got to know David and Margit in the early 1970's through Grose Gallery in Dennis. Over the years I have purchased numerous signed/dated serigraphs and many prints by David Grose. My best friend here in Pennsylvania owns a painting by David titled "The Impending Wave" which my friend cherishes every day ! My many nicely framed pieces by David Grose hang throughout my home. At the time of the Dennis Bicentennial in 1993 Mr. Grose painted my favorite cottage onto that particular serigraph coming over to 9 Highland Street to do so ! At every visit to Dennis, Cape Cod, every year I would always stop by Grose Gallery to visit. I had a very nice visit with Dave and Margit at their retirement home over Labor Day week 2010. My sincere condolences to Margit and her children. It was a real pleasure to have known David Grose for these many 40 + years.

Our warmest condolences to your family. We met David at his gallery in Dennis and appreciated his warm, friendly personality and were amazed at his talent. We love having his portrait of the East Dennis marsh in our living room. The Robertson Family.
