Karl Flint also known for union work
Tributes are being paid to a former teacher and union leader who died last week.
Karl Flint taught for decades at Ramsey Grammar School, and had been the organising secretary for the National Union of Teachers on the Island for some years.
He retired last August and was involved in local sports – most notably with hockey.
Andrew Shipley from the Department of Education and Children says he was a popular and well-known figure:
