Fred

Dear Sweet FA

We lost one of greats a few days ago, a legend that we will never be able to replace.
For this week we the Roys will be donning on Fred's avatar as a mark of respect.
We hope and encourage the rest of the Sweet FA community to join us in celebrating a person we are going miss very much

​

Very hard to read this without shedding a tear!!

 

[craffles]

Deepest sympathies to Fred's real life family and friends as well as his very established community of peers in here.

An icon of the forum gone, but never forgotten

 

[Oddhawk]

A true loss!!

Seemed a classy, witty bloke from every encounter.

Thoughts are with the family.

RIP Fred, didn't have a heap to do with you but the few conversations we had were always positive. Makes everything on here superficial compared to real life.

RIP Fred,

Such a horrible disease to have had. No doubting the man, he would have lived everyday to the fullest and never let it bring him down. From all at the West Coast Wonders, our condolences are with Ian's family and friends as we say goodbye to a community and family member.

Very good. The Filth Wizard - shit minds think alike, well done on the most reasonable action you've made as an admin. You're still a flog though
