To the Family of Fred Crenshaw:

I enjoyed visiting with Fred when I

went in to get my jewelry. He loved

to talk and share his life stories and experiences with jewelry.

He will be missed here in Trinidad.

To the Family of Fred Crenshaw:

I met Fred down in Trinidad thru my sister who lives down there. I saw the beautiful work he did and wanted him to make me a ring. He did a superb job on it and I love

it. He also did two for my husband

and they are beautiful. He was a expert jeweler.

I will wear my ring and always remember him fondly.

He loved to talk and visit when we took in jewelry for repair. We will miss him and his expertise.
