John ChristopherMACKEYExit, pursued by a bear... John Mackey, of Cossington, died on Friday, 14th November. Head of Drama at Beauchamp College for 36 years,
"Mr Mack" taught hundreds of Leicester's young people to tread the boards. Born in Harrow, he grew up in Hemel Hempstead with proud Irish roots.
Son of Michael and Margaret, brother to Mary and Mick, John was a contented, happy-go-lucky, gentle and generous man. He loved Leicester City, Chekhov, singing loudly and Magnum ice creams.
Most of all, he loved Diana, his leading lady of more than 50 years, and his children Molly and Tom. He was a fun and silly Pop Pop to Momoko and Tippi, and will be missed by so many.
"Tell us a story, Pop Pop!" "Once upon a time... the end!"
