John Inman also known as Mr. Humphries

Mr. Humpries died. Oh, Mr. Humphries!

Fifteen years ago, I startd to watch Are You Being Served? I was getting ready to go to London to spend a semester there. Every night my mother and I would watch the comings and goings of Grace Brothers. There was Miss Brauns, who was very 70's, Captain Peacock the prim and proper gentleman, Mrs. Slocombe with her different shades of hair, and Mr. Humphries.

Mr. Humphries was someone you wanted to help you, because he knew what he was going. But also he was funny and just him saying "I'm free" could bring the house down. The characters were so familar to me, I was relieved when I arrived in London that the spin off Grace and Favour was on, it made me feel less alone.

Adieu, John Inman, aka Mr. Humphries. May you be in heaven and you say to St. Peter: "I'm free!"
