John Deakin

I couldn't let the passing of John go by without creating something for him on my blog ~ even if no one appears to be reading the damn thing!

John taught my children at Raglan Primary School in Monmouthshire. He and his wife became two of our best family friends. He was a one-off, was John: no Oxbridge education, but a gift for teaching that no expensive college course can give. My girls adored him, and we holidayed together, partied together and enjoyed life together.

God bless, John ~ you were one of a kind and you'll be sorely missed not only by your family and ours, but by countless ex-Raglan Primary kids who all adored you.
