Charles Edward Nutall Hurst

11 January 1926 – 2012

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Charles Hurst. My father grew up in Liverpool. He served in the R.A.F during the Second World War, at the age of sixteen. After the war, he went to Loughborough College and gained what he called ‘the best education, anyone could hope for’.

He taught in London for twenty years. Then he met a Greek girl. They left for Greece. For the next thirsty years, he taught English and Physical Education. First at Kind Constantine’s of Greece School Anavryta, then at the first British School in Greece Campion. The students were from all over the world. He introduced hockey to schools. My father was held in high regard and was respected by all those who knew him. His presence and abilities were remembered by generations of students, throughout the country. Many became great in their careers. He always believed in the values of British Education and introduced many students to Loughborough University. My father enjoyed his life, his career and was exceptionally fulfilled. He will be deeply missed by his wife Anastasia, his son Constantine-Charles and daughter Katherine.
