I was in his class at Ravensdale. He was the best teacher. Firm but fair. Always found a way to get us engaged with what he was teaching. His magic act was the highlight of our school christmas party. A most amazing man. An honour to have known him.

Remembering a much loved teacher from my days at Ravensdale as a pupil, 50ish years ago now. Very sad to hear that he has passed away.

RIP Jack, on behalf of the Street Lighting Enthusiast community; I only met you a couple of times, but you were always a gentleman. It is no wonder that your son turned out the same.
