RIP Fred.

A few years back Fred suffered a heart attack, during which he had to drive himself to the hospital.

He told me that he thought that was it for him and the fact he survived that meant each day was a gift for him.

When he told me he was sick with cancer he expected to die from it. He also did not fear it at all.

Ian was always straight to the point and didn't * about, he died surrounded by loved ones. I'm sure that's how he wanted it.

Cheers Fred, we had some good chats and you often called me out via PM for being a dick. Very much a by the book man.

RIP.

RIP Fred

A fella I got to know more from my time at the Roys, good fella with a good sense of humour behind the scenes.

I think Fred kicked the winning goal for his beloved Roys this evening. Quite poetic.
