Seemed like a good guy. We both had overlapping interests and political views.

RIP.
 
I've only just come across this sad news. There are so many posters here who you interact with that if one of them disappears for a while you often don't notice. That was the case for me with Fred.

I remember reading his posts and enjoying them, from memory on the cricket and SRP boards mainly. I generally agreed with him, not that he would have cared if I did or not from the nature of his posting. I've got an inkling that I had at least one disagreement with him however.........

I was always fascinated by his user name, for a long time I assumed he must have been of French heritage and been the second Fred in the family. :) Of course, I can't remember how, I then found out it was the name of an actual person, a Geelong footballer (who I think may still be with us) - my knowledge of past Cats players is somewhat limited. Regardless of how I found out, I do recall discussing it with Fred (the poster) here on BF at one stage and, as part of all this, I discovered the real Fred's connection with the Hawkins family. All this new knowledge for me, which has stood the test of time.

Anyway, sadly, another good one gone. Obviously a big loss to the Geelong faithful here. RIP mate, from people who knew you better than I, it sounds like you were a real treasure.
