Warwick Hale, 1940-2021
I am very sorry to report the untimely passing of Founder Student (Oates) and long-time Board Member, Warwick Hale, over the past weekend. The following an an excerpt from an email written by Andy Laing to the Board this morning:
Warwick was a founder pupil of Falcon College, and officiated at the commemoration of the Sundial outside the Hall on the occasion of our 40th Anniversary in 1994. By then, he was already an ‘elder statesman’ on the Board. His wise and experienced counsel steered many an issue for many a year.
Warwick captured everything good in the old fashioned farming stock of this country. He really was the salt of the earth. His word was his bond. And on top of that, he was the most exceptionally decent guy one could ever hope to meet. His untimely passing is a massive blow to those who knew him, and of course to his loving family. Sue is the most amazing, caring and gentle person, indeed the most fitting partner, loving wife and best friend to Warwick for so many years.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sue and to their family.
Dave van Wyk, Headmaster
