  1. Fond memories of GREAT man from a young age he taught life skills to many. Thoughts go out to all his family

  2. Fond memories indeed, of the most astute, quick-witted and responsible house-master (along with superb house-mistress Mrs Knapman) you could ever wish for to entrust with your children’s care. True respect! He was one of a kind. “Mr Knapman” rest in peace, and love to your family.

    Of all the things I learned, was being firm but incredibly fair. He was a role model, tutor, mentor. He was also incredibly funny, talented, and could hold a class attention even on a dry subject. The random songs were fun, and his desire to educate was inspirational.
    Rest in peace, Sir.
