I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Reverend Norman Bence.

"Mr" Bence, as we knew him at Testwood Secondary Comprehensive School, Totton, Hampshire, was a very fine teacher. I recall that he was always fair and even-handed with everyone he taught.

I, myself, attended Testwood from 1969-1974, and he taught me P.E on many occasions during those years. He was a very fit man, and could play a variety of different sports well. I particular remember gymnastics being one of his specialities.

I also recall "Mr." Bence accompanying us on the very enjoyable school Winter Sports holiday to Austria over the Winter of 1971/'72, where we saw the New Year in. He enjoyed himself that night, along with us all.

He will be very sadly missed.

R.I.P. Reverend - "Mr." Norman Bence.
