Those older ones among us who went to Longton or Trentham High Schools or the Sixth Form College may like to be informed that Ken passed away this evening after a long struggle with cancer.
To me he was a mentor and a great friend and I will miss him very,very much.
I just thought some people out there would like to know.

When I was at sixth form college we used to have a drink with him in The Seven Stars pub in Lightwood on Friday nights, along with Ivan Wilson, one of the history teachers. He would hold court - very funny, kind and very intelligent bloke. He never taught me, but many say he was the best teacher they ever had.

RIP Ken.
