I’ve always thought of Uncle Fred as a gentle giant grateful like a big teddy bear. He wasn’t just the kindest man I’ve ever known; he had a way of showing genuine interest in your life, making you feel truly seen. His laugh was infectious, the kind that could light up a room and put anyone at ease. He taught me the importance of gratitude and how to be content with what I have. Uncle Fred will be deeply missed, but the warmth, laughter, and wisdom he brought to our lives will remain with us forever.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Fred. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
