Dear Old Roffensians,

I am deeply saddened to report that Colonel Ian Rouse passed away at the end of last week following a severe stroke. He died peacefully, surrounded by his wife, Anne—a former governor—and his sons, James, William, and Edward, who are all Old Roffensians and Old Choristers.

Ian was a central figure in our community, serving as Deputy Head of the Preparatory School, Contingent Commander of the CCF, and a devoted member of the Old Choristers Association, as well as a dear friend to many.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne and the entire family at this incredibly difficult time.

Mark Snoswell
