My friend and teacher
Really funny
Helicopter enthusiast
Ongoing supporter
Willing to do stuff for you
Enthusiastic with others
Somebody who was there for you
The above poem is reproduced with the permission of the author, my 11 year old son. This was written on Monday morning, moments after the school were told of the tragic death of Mr Howes. He was not only my son's favourite teacher, but in my opinion the most caring teacher I have ever met, either as a pupil or parent. Rest In Peace Mr Howes, I hope that you have now found the peace that you were searching for.
About Me
- Martin Lovegrove
- This is just my ramblings about life, the universe and everything. Man of Miracles refers to Jesus Christ, who I am a committed follower of, it is also the name of a Styx album, so neatly combining two of my interests. I also go under two alias's in different settings, both Styx of Rock, and Grandad. I am the father of two "wonderfull" boys, who share my love of Jesus and music, and local supported football teams. I am married to a lovely domesticated Welsh rock chick.

My daughter was in Mr Howes' class this year. Everyone in the class was devastated, not to mention the parents. Today was the last day of school, and nobody could say goodbye to their teacher.
RIP Mr Howes. May your memory live on.
Thanks for your comments Anon. Mr Howes taught my son in year 3 as well, and has been a constant source of encouragement since for both of us. He would of been the first person I would have thanked yesterday for looking after my son over the last four years, and guiding him on to the next step. It made him leaving even more emotional for me.
As a matter of interest how did you come across this article? I may see you at the funeral on Monday, if you are going. We are, my son wants to wear the uniform of his new school, bought today, as Mr howes knew four years ago he wanted to go there, and was as pleased as he was, when ge got a place.
