Tony lost his battle against cancer on 1 January.
Tony joined the Classics Department in 1972 and soon found himself involved in playing the organ for Assembly, training the choir and teaching music theory and teaching tennis and badminton! This was just the start of his 34 years at LGS. In 1973, he started the Hadrian’s Wall trip which has continued to run every year, and in 1976 he formed the Royal Naval section of the CCF, sailing with cadets most Thursdays.
In January 1979, he became Head of Classics leading the biennial trips to Italy (or the South of France and even Tunisia) and Greece which will be remembered fondly by alumni. As Head of Classics until 2002, his enthusiasm was daunting, his intellectual passion effusive, and his kindness and consideration infinite. He found out where talents lay and fostered them carefully in both boys and colleagues and he will be sadly missed.
