Solomon House, matriculated 1950
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Robin Shorney, at the end of August 2022.
He has unfortunately been suffering ill health and been in and out of hospital the past three years. Although his body was failing him his mind was as sharp as ever.
Dad was extremely proud of having attended PBHS and was actively involved in Old Boys activities. He has been organiser of regular PBHSOB functions in KZN since at least the mid 90’s.
He excelled at School and loved his sport. He captained the School Cricket XI and was selected to represent North Eastern Transvaal for the Nuffield cricket week. He also played for the 1st Rugby XV, was a school prefect and as such, “was respected and admired, both by staff and boys” (as taken from his School leaving testimonial, dated 11th Dec. 1950).
He was a man who was both humble and generous in equal measure. He spoke passionately about his time at School and always maintained that School gave him the foundation to become the man he was – respected, admired and loved.
