In Memory of Brian Smart

  • by

Sadly, FSDP supporter Brian Smart, father to former trustee Andrew, passed away peacefully on Thursday morning aged 86. He had his family by his side, along with his dog Buster. 

Brian was a keen supporter of FSDP, and back in his 70’s and early 80’s he used to help set up our annual awards marquee, getting in at 6am to make sure tables & chairs were put outside each day before opening, as well assisting our scholars wherever he could. Frustratingly, having been so very active he suffered a debilitating stroke some 18 months ago, unable to care for himself at all.

He made many FSDP friends along the way & in his final weeks still talked of Jo, Mrs Gin (Claire!), & the wool lady (Karen) amongst others.

Many also knew him through his social media presence as cake man; no doubt he’s now in a happier place, probably hunting out a cheeky cake-shop somewhere!

His funeral is at 11:30am on Tuesday 12th November at Mintlyn Crematorium, Kings Lynn Norfolk. PE32 1HB.
