So sorry to hear of your loss, Howard and Carol. I always had the greatest respect for Jack, both as a teacher and as a man. I've often thought of him since leaving school in the 70s.
He will be missed by many.

An amazing man. He was my first music teacher and also had piano lessons with his wife. Such a lovely couple. RIP X

Very sad to hear this news, I left JR in 1963, last spoke to Jack at the bridge near Huntington church some 25+ years later.
I remember with affection his renditions of Grieg's piano concerto No1.
Condolences to all the family.
Thank you Jack , Rest in Peace.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of our old music teacher Mr Glasby or Jack as we affectionately knew him in the seventies.
A great teacher and a nice chap and may he rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to his family from one of his former pupils at Joseph Rowntree School.
