Story
In Loving Memory of Stanley Solomons
Stan Solomons spent a lifetime in teaching and educating children and young people. We know that he has made a positive impact on many lives and he understood the value of play in education and child development.
Stan passed away peacefully on 2 August 2023 at Coppice Lodge Care Home. One of the last events he was able to attend with his daughter Rachael was an intergenerational play event run by Gedling Play Forum at Coppice Lodge. Stan and the other residents took great pleasure in the activities and the company of the children and young people.
Stan's family feels that it is fitting to invite donations to the Gedling Play Forum in lieu of flowers. Thank you.

9 months agoDad's funeral was yesterday and attended by RAFA standard bearer and buglers. He loved his roses, so roses were also a theme. I think he would have thought it a fitting celebration of his life. Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and comments. Your donations will be well used by The Play Forum to promote intergenerational play. Best wishes, Rachael, David and Family x

9 months agoWe have been honoured to receive some lovely memories from former students Dad taught. Here are just a few; "His was the only language lesson I truly enjoyed. Whenever I speak French I always think of him. He left an incredible legacy in the minds of so many pupils." "My Condolences David I had to resit French O level and your father helped with extra lessons, thankfully I passed second time . I chose to speak about cycletouring for the aural conversation! They say you never forget a good teacher. Once again my condolences to your family."
