John King

“A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.” Mary Angelou

Whether you knew John as Dad, husband, brother, friend, work colleague or Mr King/Sir, you are guaranteed to have experienced his huge heart, fun spirit and his desire to help anyone. So many lives were touched and enhanced by knowing John, for some it was a short time during school, for others it was a lifetime of friendship and love; all interactions carry stories. This book is going to be our lasting memory of a man who will be dearly missed by so many.

It was such a shock to hear of John’s passing especially as we were texting each a couple days before about the football .  I’d always comment to  John about Fulham and how they were doing and John would txt me about West Ham with comments like o dear and never mind.  It won’t …

What good fortune to start my teaching career at JP2. John King was a fantastic headteacher. He put people first and led with kindness, consistently. I was on the receiving end of ‘err, you girl’ more than once- always a case of mistaken identity and each time the fantastic smile and laughter followed. John …

“Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone’s plan – if even for a moment – and getting them to think, cry, laugh, argue. More than anything, we are remembered for our smiles; the ones we share with our closest and dearest, and the ones we bestow on …

John will never be forgotten. He was so kind and caring with a wonderful sense of humour. We used to travel to work together, listening to the radio. He absoutley hated the adverts and at the time there was a particularly annoying advert for Tetley Tea. One morning driving along John unknowingly started to …

I will forever remember my Uncle John’s kindness, thoughtfulness, wisdom and humour. I have the fondest childhood memories of long country walks together, him introducing me to new types of music and badger spotting in his garden. I feel truly blessed to have had him as my uncle. Our thoughts, support and love are …

So many happy memories of John.  A friend, a mentor  and  my maths teacher.  He helped and supported me in so many ways.  He gave me so much good advice when I was younger. He would also visit me at Uni, however I suspect that was more about playing on the fruit machines on …
