A RETIRED language teacher who taught at Richmond grammar school for 27 years has died, aged 91.
Fred Morris, who lived in Newbiggin, in the town, worked at the school from 1948 until he retired in 1975, three years after it became a comprehensive school.
He retained his interest in languages and was a frequent visitor to Paris, where he had an apartment.
Mr Morris, who died peacefully on new year's day, was a member of St Joseph and St Francis Xavier Roman Catholic church, in Richmond.
A funeral service and requiem mass were held there on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.
Mr Morris was unmarried.
