The obituary notice of David LIGHT

So many memories of this talented & sensitive man, who like my artist-father awakened in me a love of the graphic, which has led to architecture, now passed on to my eldest boy. David*s influence will always be with me, and am comforted by the biblical promise that "all those in the memorial tombs will come out"!!
Till then dear friend Adieu !

Only just seen this I moved away when I was 14 and am now 65 I remember David as a gentle and talented person I hope he is somewhere nice now and enjoying his new life
Paul Sneyd

A truely lovely gentleman of the old school literally; he was everything a teacher should be and a great representative of the profession. I remember him doing my 'stage make up' for the school play in the early 70s - such a professional and dedicated man. Managed to say Hi Sir at a reunion. RIP Sir, thank you.

Mr. Light I will remember for always being a most gentle man and good teacher. I recall he had a green mini van and one day pointed out how women had wider pelvises to allow for child birth. Quite a revelation when you are 13. I was at Stanfield from 1959 to 1963.
