William Laurence 'Bill' Davies (31 Mar 1967 - 30 Jan 2023)

With love and sympathy for the sad loss of “Bill”

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bill was an amazing colleague, friend to all and he touched the lives of so many students during his time at Capital. Bill will be forever remembered by so many thousands of people around the world for his honesty, sincerity and ability to help people learn. Rest in Peace dear Bill

I worked with Bill at Capital School of English for seven years and had the highest regard for him as a teacher and a colleague.

He always had the interests of his students at heart and many will be grateful for his positive influence on their life and career.

As a colleague, I always appreciated his willingness to help with suggestions and sharing materials that he had created from scratch.

Bill's excellent and sometimes irreverent sense of humour particularly appealed to me. He was very observant of human behaviour and was the master of wit, frequently reducing those around him to tears of laughter. And when he found something amusing, his laughter and shoulder shaking were highly infectious!

Listening to and reading the anecdotes and memories of Bill will go some way to helping with our grief.   The ability to make others smile is one of the many reasons we will all miss him so much
Rest in Peace, my friend.

His sacrifices don’t go unnoticed.

Despite the disease, he did made a positive difference in our life.

He was pushing himself too hard to explain the tutorials as he stood on his feet.

He helped us see that we can be more.

Always we will remember that and we never forget him.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. It was extremely shocking to hear about the death of your brother, Adam. I know that you two were really close and spent most of your time together. He was one of the most honest and hardworking people I have ever met. We all knew that he would always be there for us whenever needed. He was our best teacher who treated us like friends and we were like one family sharing all our things with him and he was a fun and sympathetic person from whom we learned the language in a wonderful way as he has wonderful teaching methods we will miss him very much and he will remain in our memory and we will always pray for him indeed we will miss him. May his soul rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Bill for over 10 years at Capital School.

He had a positive influence on all the students he taught. He will be fondly remembered around the world, from Panama, to Spain, to Oman, to Germany, to Saudi Arabia, to Korea, to Japan. Over the years he has helped many of his students achieve their goal to improve their English. He gave his exam students the skills and confidence to get the grades they needed to pass their exams and either go on to university or improve/change their career paths.

He was the kindest, most caring and compassionate soul. Rest in peace

We have very many happy memories of the times we spent with Bill, alongside Sally, Judy and John when we were younger. Looking back they all feel like they were warm summer days with lots of laughter. Although we haven't had the opportunity to see Bill more recently we know how much he was loved. It was therefore such a tragic shock to hear of his sad passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Love Mark, Jeannie and family.

Bill, you old bugger. What you done? Rest in peace buddy
