It's not often you have the pleasure to meet a truly unique, free spirit such as Oby. A short time together, with lasting impact and memories. A profoundly inspirational and positive bloke.
You will be sadly missed, but your wild stories never forgotten.
Nathan Sinnott, grade 6, 1990

Obey - I am so saddened to hear of your passing. You were the most inspirational teacher in my life and the person who inspired me to go into teaching. In one year as your student I learnt so much under your often unconventional guidance, you will not be forgotten by any of us. A fair man with a spirit for adventure who gave all of us a chance to shine. Greatly missed, deepest sympathies to the O'brien family - Gemma Fisher, St. Josephs Primary Grade 6 1990

A gifted, inspirational teacher who's lessons in life have stayed with me for the past 22 years. You told me many times 'Clarke - every dog has it's day!' that lesson stuck with me and inspired me to push on, never give up and achieve in life always remembering that my time would come. My time did come and I always think of you when I reflect on what I have achieved in my life.
You will be sorely missed Obey. Thank you for your guidance and life lessons at such an important formative time for me.
On behalf of the Towson family and my class mates of Grade 6 St Joseph's Port Melbourne - Rest In Peace.
