Lancelot RHODES Obituary

RHODES, Lancelot Barrie:
Barrie would like you to know that today, Tuesday September 21, 2021, aged 86 years, he handed in his lunch tin. Deeply loved father, rockstar, and creator of magic for Sas, Tracey and Brent. G.D. to his grandchildren Janya, Kylee and Zee, and great-grandchildren, and a beloved and loving ex-husband and always friend to Krissy. A fun brother-in-law to Penny Cameron, Sara Cameron, Rob Clark, the late Jeff Cameron, and a special friend to Chris Rey. Erudite, an extraordinary teacher of children with special needs, a talented musician, and lover of music. A clever golfer, a master of the cryptic crossword, and a teller of truly awful jokes, he will be so sadly missed by all his family and wonderful friends. In accordance with Barrie's wishes, a private cremation has been held, but a bit of a 'do' to celebrate his life and retell his jokes will be held when Sas is able to get home from France. Any messages can be sent to the Rhodes family, c/- Russley Retirement Village, 73 Roydvale Avenue, Burnside, Christchurch 8053.

Mr Rhodes was my teacher in Std 4 Main School. A truly inspirational teacher, way ahead of the times. I was also in his school orchestra. Remembering our class camp and many happy times in the classroom when he was playing his guitar and teaching us folk songs amongst others. It truly was such a positive environment. Good to have touched base in the last couple of years with him. Condolences to his family. A great teacher and mentor leaves their imprint on their student's lives. Rest well.

I was sorry to learn of the death of Barrie and extend to you all my deepest sympathy in your bereavement.
Many years ago I loaned Barrie my old 1910 Banjo. His folk group 'the Piccaso Trio'
used this in their recording of the 'Fairlie Flyer' song - can be heard on 'You Tube'.
Barrie's folk music continues on for all of us to enjoy.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Barrie Rhodes. Was one of the most liked teachers at Timaru Main School (now closed). Was great with the special needs kids there and my choir teacher. R.I.P Barrie.

Barrie was my all time favourite teacher, both at Main School and again at Timaru College. He made learning fun and exciting and we all thought he was the coolest guy ever...so many happy memories of him. My deepest sympathy to all his family.
