Story

Fred was remarkable in so many ways. He was devoted, kind, witty, tenacious, intelligent and something of a wordsmith. It was an honour to share his life with him. We only got 11 years of marriage together, three of which were turned upside down by cancer (and covid thrown into the mix). However, we never lost sight of how fortunate we were to quickly welcome two beautiful healthy boys to our family and for the time we all had together. It is not the childhood, or indeed life, we had hoped for our boys but all of your memories, love and support will carry us through. We will carry our beloved husband, best friend and daddy in our hearts forever and always. 

Fred was hopeful that there might be a cure for cancer in our boys’ lifetime. If you would like to donate and honour Fred’s legacy, please do so here. 

Thank you.
