I am extremely saddened by the news of Ivan Reshetilov’s death.
I was privileged to be a teacher of Ivan in his Colchester Grammar School days and was his form tutor for some of his time there.
He was a wonderful young man who was always well mannered, polite and amenable.
He had an enormous presence and was an exceptionally talented and intuitive musician.
My thoughts go out to his family at this very distressing time.
