Obituary: Richard Whitehouse

19th December 2017

Richard was literally a larger than life character, taught in Dortmund and Hannover before being appointed Head of The Heide School, Fallingbostel in the 1980s.

Following his retirement, he lived in the Isle of Wight where he could enjoy his passion for sailing.  Richard was also a star turn at Loccum Headteachers’ Conferences playing his guitar and singing folk songs.  He and Maureen moved to Victoria, Australia some years ago to be nearer to their two eldest sons and their families.  Maureen and his three sons survive him.
