It is with deep regret that the society inform you of the passing of one of life's and Campbellls gentlemen, Mr John Knox (4170).  

He left the college in 1959 and returned to teach in 1968.  He was Head of Modern Languages for 25 years before his retirement in 2005.  He was a much loved teacher of the college.  He was President of The Society in 2012.

Our thoughts are with André (Hon OC), John (7228) and Gary (7434) and the rest of the Knox family.

The funeral will take place on Saturday 7th February at St Dorothea's, Gilnahirk at 9:45am.
