Michael Andrew Jarrett (FS 47-50)

The following is based on information supplied by his widow, Josephine.

“Michael died on the 27th February following a fall. In 2009 he had suffered a stroke, which had left him slightly impaired, though he had made some progress in recovering from the effects of this.

He thoroughly enjoyed his time at school at St Bees, where he was something of an all-rounder: playing rugby for the first XV, being a keen long-distance runner, a member of the dramatic society, and a singer in both the school and Priory choirs. In later life he cherished a fond memory of a visit to see the late Anthony Dearle, who had been his Housemaster. After St Bees he spent his national service with the army in Cyprus before embarking on a medical career in general practice, and even after retirement from this he kept active by engaging in forensic consultancy work.

Michael was very well travelled, spending lengthy periods in Hong Kong, Jamaica, and Portugal. His keen interest in amateur boxing led him into judging tournaments, particularly in the west country. He had become a member of the Unitarian Church in 1996 and spent six years as a lay reader.”
