Kenneth Thomas (5 Oct 1942 - 10 Jun 2024)

Ring the bells, loud and strong. It is with great great sadness that we announce the passing of the one and only Ken Thomas, who left us on 12th June.

The most brilliant and supportive father, grandfather, uncle anyone could have wished for. An amazing husband to our mom Angela, and partner these last years to Jan. A much-loved, respected (award-winning no less) headteacher of Cotwall End Primary School (from 1978 til 2003) who inspired so many lives. A genuinely kind and considerate human-being, with the strongest of spirits, who served his family and community for many years. We feel very privileged to have had him as our Dad - and long into our adult lives to boot.

We are devastated and we will miss him hugely, but we aim to carry everything he stood for in our hearts & minds as we go forward.

Here’s to the great Ken Thomas. Forever a boyo from The Valleys. Go well my lovely.

Ken’s funeral will be on Tues 25th June at the Methodist Church on Stream Rd at 1pm, (DY6 9NP) followed by his committal at Stourbridge Crematorium and a wake at The Vine, Dunsley Rd Kinver. (DY7 6LJ).
All are welcome. If you are intending to come please do message in comments if you can, - but equally all are welcome regardless. Thank you.
