Cannot believe this news, met Freddie at Kings Lynn and can only echo what others have said.
A truly lovely guy who would do anything for anybody. Rest in peace Freddie god bless. |

For those of you who never had the pleasure of meeting Freddie (and it WAS a pleasure) I thought I'd put a face to the name
FREDDIE (2) by Rod Thrower, on Flickr ... with thanks to Jeff (coolcat) for allowing my missus to hold his camera long enough to take the photo - and apologies to him too for cropping one of his photos

Just to say the members and staff from the OC raised a glass in Freddie’s memory this evening as we gathered for our evening meal here in Birmingham.
Even members who had never met Freddie said they had heard how much of a gentleman he was. That’s a pretty good testament in my eyes. Cheers Freddie, your mates are missing you.

I will miss you Fred . . .

Very sad to hear.
Still have the issue of Practical Classics from 20 years ago in which he featured with his Rover P3. Great job he did with restoring that.

Met up with Jay, Andy and Debs, Pete and Mandy this evening for a meal at the Acle Bridge Inn where Freddie would often join us.
Raised a toast in remembrance of Freddie and all our other friends no longer with us. Untitled by Jeff Cranwell, on Flickr ...............

It will be held on Thursday 6th Dec at 11.00am at St.Faiths Crematorium in Norwich. 75 Manor Rd, Horsham St Faith, Norwich NR10 3LF
