The title of this area of the forums is, ' remembering the great ones'. Of course Freddie belongs here. But he also needs to be remembered as one of the 'good ones'. For those of you whom had the pleasure to know him, and for those of you whom never met him, Freddie was one of the most giving people you could meet. An extremely talented man in whatever he turned his attention to.
And as Carl and Dave said in their posts above, he would share his knowledge freely with anyone interested, and his home was always open for a visit. His wife Sarah is a beautiful person too, and more than just a spouse, she was his partner, and I can only wish her the best in the coming times.....
I hope heaven is ready for such a big man as Freddie!! He is one of a kind.
