Not sure what to say?

I was sad to hear Mr. Peter Knowles had passed.
He was my English teacher in the mid 1970s.
I thought he was a great teacher and a very nice man.
Rest in peace.

I was shocked and saddened by the news and will miss our conversations about film and books. I hope that you keep popping into my mind when questions arise... but unfortunately you will no longer be available to share insights and smiles. Miss you.

Mr. Knowles was the single most influential teacher I ever had. His encouragement and ability to see potential in people when they could not see it in themselves was transformative for me. I have many fond memories of our Reach for the Top team which he led, chats about film and more. He is largely responsible for my passion for writing and literature. I am sad he is gone but grateful for his impact on my life, and through me many others.

Peter was one of the nicest kindest man I had ever met in my life!
