Happy memories of school days at Melbourne of Mr Smith. He taught both myself and my husband in sport and geography. He worked us hard but of great benefit to us both. From Jane and Michael Lakin

Happy memories of playing football and cricket with Pete for Aston on Trent. A true gentleman on and off the pitch. He always supported and encouraged younger players to become better both as players and people. RIP.
