Tributes to David Stewart

"Boss," as he was fondly referred to, loved his old school as much as his old students loved him, and never failed to keep in touch with them.  He was  keenly interested in any news of the school, and so much enjoyed browsing through our OMHSA website, which he made a great contribution towards by sending me ten-year's-worth of his  precious bound volumes of school magazines from to   In the evening of his life he had two very sad bereavements - his dear wife, Dorothy and his son, which he must have found very difficult to bear.  But his faith was always strong and he was able to come to terms with these tragic losses. 

He was my Headmaster when I was in school in , and though I was only there for a short while, he still remembered me, as I was a day-scholar, and he once  had to fill-in for the driver for a few weeks when the driver was sick.  He loved that old Jeep, and boy - did he drive!  At breakneck speed around those sharp bends, with us day-boys hanging on for dear life.  Ah - memories!

A Tribute by Kamal Haque

"Boss" was  full of life, optimistic, always active. I do not remember him ever falling ill. He would inquire about every student and was known to visit the sick  in the School Dispensary.  His sense of humour never left him. I shall mention below, some of these that I remember.

As a teacher, he felt imparting "Christian" values was just as important as motivating students to achieve high academic and moral  standards, so that they would be leaders  to their communities. He set an example for his students to follow. I think this was one of his greatest gifts to his
