Last saw Mr Cathro in 1967, Norfolk rd school. I was 7.. Awesome,firm but kind man, larger than life. never forgotten.. He and Mrs Cathro ran easily the best school on the face of the planet. When we werent learning the three "r" in mrs Cathros class, we would sing a lot. Sound of music and my fair lady, as I remember. Lee was right into it. Many Many fond memories.
My sincere condolences to Mrs Cathro, and family.. Kelvin Smith..

Be comforted in knowing that God is with you during this difficult time and that there are friends that also share your sorrow with you. I find Psalm 121 to be very comforting during these times.

HI Madge , Lee and family. shocked to read of Keith's passing. Thought about him quite often after I left Summerset.Will miss his humming a lot. always brightened my day when he did that especially when he started to sing with me and then we would stop and have a good chuckle. All my thoughts. Proud to have been one of the RN's that had the privilege to look after him.
