My sincere condolences to the family. Rev Thorpe was an awesome man of God. When ever we had a conversation it would never end without the Lord in it. Sometimes when our service end he would have a quick prayer with my wife and she respected him a lot. I will miss my friend but if I hold on to Jesus' hand I will see him again.

To:Mrs. Marie Thorpe and Family. We were saddened by the passing of your husband, Rev. Fred Thorpe . I remember the times when our Mother was sick , she would ask us to call Rev. Thorpe to come and pray for her. She enjoyed his prayers and she would let us know how much enjoyed Him. Rev. Thorpe was truly a man of God and he did not mind praising God. He always carried his Bible with him ready to preach the word or give you encouragement. Rev. Thorpe we will miss you , but we will remember the blessings that you left us with. To the family hold on to God's unchanging hand for strength. In your time of bereavement just know that if God brought you through this then trust Him to see you through. Weeping may endure for the night but joy cometh in the morning.

Rev. Thorpe when I was in my early years of life introduced me to Jesus on a Friday night. I will never forget this man of God. He was a real and he loved the Lord.
