Having been a lifelong inhabitant of Grinstead Hill, I got to see Fred often when I went in the store. He was always there with a kind smile, a joke, and he always asked me about my family. I am very glad I got to know this man during his life, and my sympathy goes to his family over the loss of a wonderful human being.

I met Fred years ago when I was looking for a job. He never knew a stranger, he was always helping someone. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
