In Memoriam...David Kent



Khun Patamaporn, Director of Srisuvit School advised me this morning of the passing of my good friend and colleague, Teacher David Kent, from cancer. When I was appointed Head of the English Programme and Foreign Teachers at Srisuivit School in Banglamung, Thailand, Dave was one of the first teachers to join our new programme.


Dave was an excellent teacher, well loved by his many students. His knowledge and easy-going style were well appreciated by Thai and foreign teachers alike. 

Dave was the voice of reason in the teachers’ room; an enthusiastic participant in our English Camps, student outings and fun festivals such as our New Years and Student Day Event. 
  
Whenever we were introducing a new textbook or school procedure, Dave was the one whose opinion I counted upon and valued the most. I conferred with Dave on many occasions.


He will be sadly missed by everyone in the school and the ex-pat community in the Pattaya area. We extend our sincere condolences to Dave’s family in Great Britain.
