Norman Rice

18 januari 1943 - 12 mei 2020

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Norman from cancer. Norman retired from the College in June 2015 after 44 years of teaching at Epsom. In his time, he had been Head of Economics and a Tutor in Propert and Crawfurd. In 1978 he became Housemaster of Fayrer, Third Master in 1991, Senior Master in 1994, and Deputy Head in 1998. Following his first 'retirement' in 2003, Norman became the Honorary Secretary of the OE Club for three years, while continuing to teach Economics at the College part-time. Norman gave a full contribution to sport, notably in football (he was a fine player himself) and in coaching athletics (in his prime, he excelled as a Triple Jumper). His passion for athletics meant that he continued to compete at veteran meetings long after most of his contemporaries had retired. Headmaster, Jay, Piggot, says, "The man simply was indefatigable; he imbued all the finest qualities of a complete schoolmaster, he will be missed." Norman is survived by his wife, Carole, and daughters Jennifer, Zoe and Danielle.

Norman was my housemaster from 1981-85. Coming from Kenya to board was daunting. He made it as easy as possible and was always there to listen to any issues. He even patiently ran with me and a few stragglers on the Downs to encourage us. He was there for all students and was a firm but fair and approachable father figure at Fayrer. We coined the name “Mchele” for him which is rice in Swahili and he was famed in many corners of Kenya! One thing he failed to do was to convert me to Economics! Condolences to Carole and the family. RIP Norman
