The news of the deaths of Old Members comes to the notice of the College through a variety of channels. The College is unable to verify all these reports and there may be some omissions and occasional inaccuracies. Obituaries JOHN BAINBRIDGE Intelligent, witty, adventurous, determined, dynamic, small….but perfectly-formed, John Anthony Bainbridge was born in Sheffield on 25 April 1940 and led a long, active, and interesting life, regarding himself as generally very lucky. Lucky to have intelligent and caring parents who gave him a lifetime love of learning, books, travel, cinema, sport, and the ability to enjoy the company of others and make lasting friendships throughout his life. Lucky to meet and marry Diane Storer and to enjoy years of happy family life with Di, Joanne, and Bonnie. John spent some of his early days in a bread bin under the stairs as protection from falling bombs. At the age of 11 he won a scholarship to the academic hothouse of King Edward VII Grammar School, where a number of highly qualified sadists kept his nose to the grindstone, so much so that he emerged with three distinctions at A level, a State Scholarship, and a highly prized Hastings Scholarship to Queen's to read Greats. A sturdy fullback at school, he progressed to a league and cup-winning team at Queen’s, where the Association Football Club won the First Division of the League and were finalists in Cuppers in 1960/61. With John as Treasurer in 1961/62, the team came second in the League and won Cuppers in a high scoring run of five games, with 26 goals for and only two against. The College Record of the year has the following notes on the two fullbacks: “Bainbridge – an energetic one-footed player. Has been known to head the ball. Barwell, incredibly even shorter than his partner. Heads the ball well but suspected of wearing his boots on the wrong feet.” John’s enduring nickname amongst his college friends was Ned, after Harry Secombe (alias Neddie Seagoon) of the Goon Show who also suffered from duck’s disease (short legs). Elected Football Club Captain 1962/63, John inspired others and is remembered as a helpful, decent, and outstanding personality. John graduated in 1963 and took a teaching post in Bermuda. It was a tough twoyear assignment at a private grammar school in the sunshine, with sea, sand… and no income tax. The urge for more adventure struck in September 1965 when he returned to the UK the wrong way and the long way… taking in the USA & Mexico on Greyhound buses, then Japan, Indo-China, India, the Middle East, Egypt, and Greece, finally home in March 1966 having had amazing experiences and made more lasting friendships. 104 The Queen’s College | College Record 2022
Not one to let the grass grow under him, a year later he gained a teaching certificate in Oxford and a wife in Sheffield. This was when he got seriously lucky meeting and marrying Diane, a theatre sister at the Royal Hospital who shared his taste for travel. They moved to Kingston, Ontario, and in the summers took long tours of the USA and Mexico. After three years both wanted a return to the UK, to reunite with families and friends and to set up home and start a family. Ringstead Crescent in Crosspool was where they started and where they stayed. Obituaries In his career as a teacher in South Yorkshire, John continued to play football, with the Ecclesfield and Stocksbridge teachers’ teams and the Old Centralians. In the summer, cycling and tennis took over. Family, friendships, and holidays continued to enrich his life, with frequent visits to Greece helping to refresh his Lit. Hum. passions. After retiring from his post as Head of Lower School at Stocksbridge School, he enjoyed walking in the Peak District and was still organising Derbyshire walks with his friends in 2021. Despite being diagnosed with heart failure in 2013, John refused to slow down or be beaten and would attempt to out-run the doctors for the rest of his days. To his last day John still owned eight pairs of running shoes and was seen by his neighbours in his running kit until a month before he passed away. John particularly valued his links with and friends from Queen’s, organising regular reunions at Old Members’ Dinners. At the dinner of 2002, the 1962 Cuppers Team had a ‘40 years on’ reunion and were invited by the Provost to stand for an ovation. I treasure my photo of him passing the Loving Cup to his neighbour with the toast in impeccable Latin “In memorium absentium, in salutem praesentium”. John died in December 2021. He is survived by his younger brother Ian, daughter Bonnie, and grandchildren Ria and Felix. In his eulogy at the funeral, Ian’s closing words were those of Catullus for his brother: “ave atque vale”, hail and farewell. David Goodall, Chemistry (1959) ANDREW BALL Andrew Ball (Music, 1968), who died on 10 July 2022 aged 72 from complications of Parkinson’s, was a distinguished pianist, teacher, and administrator who made a significant contribution to the performance of new and 20th Century music. Andrew and I came up to Queen’s in 1968 as the two Music undergraduates. I soon realised that here was no ordinary undergraduate: College Record 2022 | The Queen’s College 105
