The obituary notice of Michael DOWNWARD

With thoughts and prayers Sean and Anne.

With thoughts and prayers Sean and Anne.

I will never forget that Michael gave me my first proper teaching post back in 1983 and, during my time at West Buckland, had an important influence on my career. Reflecting on those years, it was his generosity and encouragement that made such an impact. My sincere condolences to Pat on her loss and I hope that the beautiful Thanksgiving Service at All Saints was of some comfort to her and all those mourn the passing of a true gentleman who lived a very full life of service to others.
