John H. Evans.  Passed away on 25th March 2021, at the age of 90 years.
John may not be a Seafordian, but he was a very important person to many pupils of Seaford Secondary School between 1956 & 1960.25th March 2021

Ainsley Reed.  Sir taught me many things at Seaford Secondary modern School, but the most revered by me was ‘never think you are inferior or the underdog, you are equal to everyone’
It was great to re-live those days at Seaford, and in particularly, the trip to Wales as a
14 year old, playing, or trying, against some very good Welsh boys in the Rhondda valley.
On that trip, we all stayed with his parents and friends in Sherwood Place, Llywynpia
He was more like a father than a teacher, and we all learnt the meaning of Welsh hospitality. The trip from Seaford and back was also memorable, traveling in a converted ambulance, with no seat belts and few stops.
Barry Thompson. Glad a few of us met up with him a while ago.R.I.P. Taffy.
Gerry Lambert. A sad loss, many a laugh with him
Carol Lamberth. Tony always talked about him.
Linda Lammiman. RIP John. x
Dave Lisseter. So many foundations laid….RIP Taffy….remembering the wonderful times.

Chris Rolf. Great teacher, and a great Welsh man. Thank you for my love of rugby. R.I.P.
Jane Berg. Remember him well. RIP Taffy
Brian Henty. Very sad news .He was an inspiration to me and many who had the pleasure of knowing him .RIP Taffey
Bob Lowe. Very sad news indeed to hear about our “Taffy”. He was an extremely popular games teacher, who did so much for the school, especially on the Rugby side. He had a heart of gold. He’ll be very much missed for sure by so many of us. I’m so glad that I met him again after so many years, at one of Taffys reunions. It was an incredible evening. We’ve now lost two of our games teacher’s within days of each other. The other one being Mr. Waring. RIP Taffy.
Jean Beard. Such sad news. He was the teacher who made us think we could achieve our dreams! A lovely man, it was great to see him at the recent reunions! (From Paul)
John Pettitt. Sad to get this news a great games teacher and inspirational read he’s book and interesting to see what happened to his life after teaching. RIP.
Joi Bennett. He was a great teacher with a good sense of humour..rip.john….
Andy Anderson. So, so sad to hear this, I had a long chat with him 3 or 4 weeks ago when he sounded pretty chirpy. He had just had his new book published and promised to sign my copy when I was able to visit him again.
As has already been stated he was an inspirational teacher who made a massive and lasting effect on my life as I know he did on many others. His amazing life after leaving Seaford is documented in his first book “Only Angels Have Wings?”,a really entertaining read. My thoughts are with you and yours Marianne. Rest in peace, John.
Roger Job. Remember him well. RIP Taffy 🍷

Bob Male. R I P Jon. A fighter to the end good seeing and talking to him. A Welsh man through and through gave me a good start in sports
Michael Hurst. Good memories of a great PE. Teacher and mentor.

A very nice guy, and not a bad word from anyone said about him. looks wise, he always reminded me of Norman Wisdom, lol. My sincere condolences to Aubrey’s family. RIP my friend.

On leaving the RAF David worked as a technology teacher at Ardingly College and later at Newlands School in Seaford. He was an active member of the Seaford RAF Association, Seaford National Trust Group and Seaford Photographic Society. He printed and edited the magazines for the National Trust and Seaford Museum. Thank you for your service to Seaford David.

Fran Crisp. May he rest in peace after giving so much.
Peter White. David was a faithful, friendly and thoroughly reliable fixture in Seaford and especially at The Museum. He was one of those people (like George Jakens) who had a grasp of things technical and I.T. when many Museum members still thought suspiciously of them as smoke and mirrors! His service to the Museum was considerable, and I shall miss our many brief chats when meeting in the street.
Bob Lowe. Thought I recognised him. I often saw and spoke to David Fairhurst at Newlands School, when I was their postman for very many years. A truly lovely and hard working man, and will be really missed by many. Rip.

Bob Lower I worked with john for ages at Harvey’s stores a good man and a good laugh condolences to his family
Chris Rolf From a child I have fond memories of John at Harvey’s. He’d was friends with Mum and Dad and would pop into the shop for a chat and a cuppa. We were only two doors down. He prepared and cut the best bacon you ever tasted. Condolences to his family at the passing of another Seaford character.
Janet Vacher Remember him well, he was also a friend and perhaps even a school friend of both my parents. Condolences to his family and yes, yet another Seaford character gone. So sad
Chris Clarke I remember John at Harvey’s stores my mum would send me over there for butter that he would cut from a big slab and he fascinated me how quickly he could knock it into shape with those butter patts. Always a smile on his face ,fond memories of life in the high street when our front door was never locked .Condolences to all his family.
Reg Bond One day many years ago, after the war, I was in Harvey’s borrowing a 28lb pack of sugar until our ration was delivered and John was preparing a whole boned out Gammon for cooking.
I went back to our shop and thought what a good idea it was, as up to then retailers could only buy cooked ham in tins for slicing.
This early encounter with my old friend John, was the start of me cooking a Gammon in a pot until new cooking methods were invented, which enabled me to cook up to six Gammons at a time. 
Diane Helm So very sad, condolences to all of his family..
Candy Andrews Very sad to hear this news. My Mum & Dad, the late Ron & Edna Andrews, worked with John at Harvey’s along with some other lovely people! Very happy memories of all of them!

If he’s looking down from heaven right now he’d be raising a glass or five, to you all for such a wonderful time on earth.

He was always ready to help and if you needed him he would be over in a heartbeat. We have many happy memories of Les especially every Christmas Day morning when you Les, and your family would come and have a drink (or 2 or 3 or 4!) with us. You will be sadly missed Les. All our love Doug Georgie Steve and little Jo xxxx
