Eric Barber (11 Nov 1928 - 4 Apr 2016)

Eric, what an amazing man... You touched the lives of so many people. I'm so privileged to have met you and hear your amazing life stories - never have I met a person with such a fantastic memory... You truly are amazing. Gone but never forgotten. Be at peace with Sheila xxx RIP xxx

A wonderful Grandad, full of tales and always happy to see you. We'll all miss you so much. Back with Grandma. RIP xx

You will always be rememberd for being the best deputy head teacher anyone could wish for you were very strict but im sure it was for the best R.I.P mr batber thoughts and prayers are with you and your family i for one will always remember you rest in peace sir xx

RIP to the greatest grandad. You were an inspiration, a role model and a friend. No matter what, you could make us laugh with your teaching tales. You had an amazing sense of humour, and I will never forget 'Grandad or chips?'. (Chips, right?) Every time you visited, you would patiently play board games with me. I never noticed that you always let me win, I just thought I was brilliant!

Growing up with you around was a real privilege. I'm honoured to have followed such a wise man into the teaching profession. I know I'll never be the teacher you were no matter how hard I try.

Nothing will ever take these precious memories away, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Love you, Grandad. Until the morning xxx

Mr Barber will always be remembered as a great teacher, hard but fair.I know he was a hard task master, but very well repected by all his pupils. Pity that his kind of teaching seems to have left our Schools,R.I.P. Mr Barber, condolences to his family.

fantastic teacher rip Mr barber

RIP to a much respected Deputy Head Teacher (Ali Twan/Barber - nicknamed affectionately due to his twan toed relaxed walk). Great teacher who kept everyone in order without having to do very much x Great school days........

A consummate teacher. What better obituary could he have than; He was a teacher.

I will always be grateful for the education you, Mr Barber, was so determined we were having whether we liked it or not. The child that I was didn't want the effort it took but you insisted I stepped up. I thank you for your persistence, endurance and patience, don't know how you didn't murder me. The education you instilled in me has shaped my whole adulthood, enabled me to pursue a twenty year university career and is still holding me in good stead, however, I now know that you always knew this would be the case. You were a true professional. RIP Sir. Goodnight and God Bless

My Grandad. My mentor. My hero. My friend. If I live to be half the man you are my life will be a success. I don't know how I will go on without you. I miss you so much. I wish you were here so badly. It hurts so much. You will live on,the stories, in my memories, in my children and in my heart. See you, my grandma and my dad on the other side.

Good night and God bless.

See you in the morning.

A lovely man and great teacher. He put me at ease when I started the school midway through the year and made sure I was ok and settling in when ever he saw me. A kind and fair man but you knew where the line was and didn't cross it x rip Mr Barber x
