  3. How can I describe Freddie. He was a true Aussie battler, a gentleman, a wild man in his youth I’m told. Fred
    had a good sense of humour and he never complained. He was a very good bowler. Fred will be missed at the Berwick Bowling Club. I know I miss him. To Fred’s family please accept my condolences.
    Rest In Peace Freddie.

    Fred was a fierce & respected competitor on the green & brought his friendly demeanour & quirky sense of humour to the social gatherings off the green.
    To be in Fred’s company was always an enjoyable occasion. Thank you Fred; safe journey.

  10. We were honoured to have known Fred for the last 7 years as his neighbour. We loved the chats, the stories and the history he gave us on the area. He was an absolute gentleman and we loved his caring and passive nature.
    We have missed him over the last year or so since he got sick and moved away, but we are now totally saddened by his passing.
    Love Ange, Sheri and Sophia.
    God Bless.

  17. Fred,
    You were a true gentleman and an absolute Australian legend!
    I will never forget the day you introduced me to the biggest huntsman spider that was a resident in your home!!
    When I saw you many years later you hadn’t aged a-bit and still had the same sense of humour I remembered so fondly from when I visited you as a child.
    You will be missed.
    Rest in peace Fred.
