In loving memory of Darrell Gene Leist who sadly passed away on 13th July 2023

If you are attending the funeral please feel free to wear what you like, Darrell loved anything with a bit of colour which is quite surprising given the fact that he was colour blind!

Joanne Lovett donated £20 in memory of Darrell

Rest in peace, Darrell. You were my first headteacher as a newly qualified teacher many years ago and I shall always remember my time at Riverside Junior School fondly. Jo

Thinking of you Darrell, and how you made us smile. A great headteacher to our 2, now grown up children, and a good friend. We’ll always remember you fondly.

To me the Head Master of Riverside Junior School,a Tall Power Full Man at School for one you wouldn’t cross for fear of being lifted up by the Bars at Lunch Time.
My Best Friends Dad,we had some laughs along the way.
You will also be Mr Leist and Greatly Missed.
God Bless.
