Elwyn Stuart RICHARDSON

Some time past. I remember hanging out on the printing press room, enjoying the sent of ink and the commentary Mr Richardson always gave. An interested and engaging person, someone who, after every every encounter, made me examine and make good choices. But most of all, I remember going back to the school in difficult circumstances in my early 20's to pull my youngest sister out to explain to her our mum was passing. i'd not been part of that cohort for some 13 years having moved to the UK. ...

This great man left a great impression on so many of us. He inspired and motivated us to be our best creative selves. Thank you for all that you did, Elwyn.

My favourite teacher at Lincoln Heights School.

Elwyn was an inspirational teacher and he will undoubtedly remain for ever in the hearts and minds of Sinead and Seamus - and Jean will always remember him with true affection.

An inspirational leader to teachers and pupils alike - wonderful memories of time spent at lincoln Heights .

Respected friend, over all a great man

A Tane Mahuta of New Zealand has sadly fallen. Elwyn was a great tree of knowledge, wisdom, humour and aroha. He will always be treasured for the extraordinary man he was. Arohanui
