I am both glad and sad that I learned of David's death. I am sad because it is simply sad; I am glad because I can here acknowledge the power of David's influence on me. He was perhaps the strongest guide, both as a teacher and as a man, that I have ever been honoured to know. I have never matched the pleasure of his company, and of his wisdom, in the 45 years since I was lucky enough to meet him. The course of my life was shaped by him, and I am grateful for his shaping. I am now old enough to know that there are very few good men; I believe that David was one of those rare men, and I am tremendously grateful to have know him.

David Pryke brought a sense of class to Stratford Central. Snippy, rigorous and considerate, he cared for his work and his students, and brought us to do the same. Few teachers matter. He mattered a lot.
