Norman was my Housemaster when I arrived at Epsom College in 1992.
He was also my athletics coach for long and triple jump for 5 years and having been my brother's Housemaster before my arrival, he was always keen to know how I was coming along. He kept his keen eye on so many of us over the years making sure we tried to fulfil our potential in whatever field and of course to make sure we stayed out of trouble and didn't stray from the path.
Its only many years later you can truly appreciate all the lessons you learnt at school that were far beyond what you learnt in a classroom or book. Preparing you for life, teaching you core values and making you realise you are accountable for what you do and also what you don't do are some of the many things I am truly grateful to Norman for teaching me at a young age. Glad to have seen him in September last year at the Fayrer OE Event.
Rest in Peace and thank you.
Kind regards,
Adebola "Ade" Haffner
