<p>A good, good man</p> <p>I attended Villiers in from 1979 to 1984. While I have not seen Mr Ruddock since then, I have many good memories of him. Of course, we just knew him as "Jack" our indomitable headmaster. I was sad to hear of his passing.</p> <p>His love of music will be what I remember most. When he moved his Concert Grand into school he let me practice on it - a real honour. His passion for bringing all good things musical to Limerick meant we were exposed to so much really good music. I think I can date my love of classical music (especially live) to that time. It is a great gift to introduce someone to something they love for their entire life.</p> <p>He was a lovely man who touched many, many lives. If they don't already have well organised concerts "up there" - they will now.</p>

<p>Deepest Sympathy from Villier's Alumnae</p> <p>Dear Ruddock Family:</p> <p>I was one of the American students at Villiers 1980-1982 and remember Mr. Ruddock as an integral part of Villers and my two memorable years in Ireland. I particularly recall Mr. and Mrs. Ruddock's absolute joy at the birth of Rosalind.</p> <p>Condolences to you all. He will not be forgotten by his many students.</p> <p>Cristina Petit Hamill (Villiers 1982)</p>

<p>Limerick music assoc</p> I met John through the LMA. He did the area SUCH a service and i think opened the door to the very rich concert era we now enjoy. He was a very nice man in my experience. Sincere sympathy.
