Arthur William (Willie) Rose, who passed away in October 2017, was a former headmaster of Scrabo Secondary School in Newtownards.
Born on 12 August 1935, he attended Bangor Grammar School between 1948 and 1953, before qualifying at Stranmillis as a PE teacher. He subsequently gained a degree in Economics at Queen’s University and then completed a Masters in Education at the Ulster University. Following many happy years as vice-principal of Dundonald High School he moved to the senior post at Scrabo. Following his retirement he taught history for two days a week at Belfast High.
Willie had a passion for sport in all its forms, playing basketball in the Senior League for Stranmillis, football for Civil Service, and was a member of Clandeboye Golf Club for many years. (With thanks to County Down Spectator)
