Lloyd KERR Obituary

If ever I felt gratitude to a teacher it was Lloyd Kerr. In 1965 he introduced me to history in a formal manner. Inspirational. I still have the essays he marked with his comments. I had reason to contact him around 10 years ago and sent him a copy of them. He was amused, I think. I really appreciated his tutelage. That year was a seminal one for me. UE launched me into a varied successful career in business and academia. Underlying all of my activities has been a love of modern history. Thanks Mr Kerr.

Poor Lloyd had to endure 5 lads from my family. He was old school strict, with exacting standards but very fair. A gentleman in all weathers. Vale.

Dear Lloyd
Michael and I always enjoyed your lovely sense of humour and gentle company at the dining table. Sleep well

I think it was Lloyd's first year and I can still recall him driving up and parking in Stephenson St. in his beautiful MG open top.As a car crazy schoolboy I was most impressed.Never taught me but good feedback from others.

Lloyd (Fly) taught me Social Studies in 1971 and Geography in 1974. He was a teacher who set high standards and we responded in kind. You knew his expectations and boundaries. I was talking to a colleague about him just the other day - specifically his ability to draw freehand maps of Europe! Mr Kerr will have impacted an enormous number of lives - including those of us who became teachers and hope to have a similar impact.
