I remember ‘Gibbo’ from my school years at Grange. He certainly was inspirational, caring, compassionate and a true teacher. He’s one of the few teachers who helped to shape who I was in primary school in the 1980’s
A sad loss to all who knew him and to his family. R.I.P Jack. X

Jack was a kind, caring and dedicated teacher who taught me 45 years ago at Grange. I still have fond memories of the happy environment he created. He touched the lives of many.
