AMBLESIDE has been shocked and saddened at the deaths of two people well-known in the local community within a day of each other last week.
Andrew Flitter, 57, died suddenly in Kendal's Westmorland General Hospital on Tuesday, and Jim Fuller, 76, died on Wednesday in Preston Royal Infirmary.
Both were closely associated with a number of local organisations and Andrew Flitter's first job as a young man was spent serving his time in Jim Fuller's electrical, TV and radio business.
Both had served mountain rescue, Andrew as a former chairman of the Langdale/Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team, and Jim as its past secretary. Many friends, team members and associates turned out to pay their respects at both funerals at St Mary's Parish Church during the week.
