Not sure what to say?

Mr. Fred Knittle's 2006 performance of "Try To Fix You" inspired me and made me cry. I still watch him sing that song with a spirit of inspiration and peace. I hope you are breathing the breath of heaven and are brand new now in paradise. You touched many lives. You and Young at Heart Chorus have changed my life and my outlook on it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing so much with so many. People continue to discover the beautiful song, Fix You that you performed.

We had a chance today in class to watch a documentary about Young at Heart Chorus and Fred's performance of Fix You brought tears to our eyes and touched us in such a deep way. such a beautiful song combined with Fred's unique, incredible voice. Thank you for the lovely performance and song Fred.

We were in England when Channel 4 showed the film and Fred singing 'Fix you' really moved us.
we then lived in Duxbury MA but are now in Scotland, locked down during this terrible virus. Fred's song came to mind as appropriate to this awful time, so I play the film of him singing to warm our hearts.
Thank you Fred for the gift of this song.
sincerely,
Anthony Wyatt.

Everytime I get in touch with life's rough side I listen to Fred Knittle's version of Fix You.
So did I the past days. Thank you for fixing me!

I first listened to this a few years ago and it brought tears to my eyes. For some reason I listened to Fred again tonight and I feel he must have been such a wonderful person, husband, father, grandfather, friend, I wish I had known him. I wish all the family lots of happy memories of him, and especially his wife of so many years.
