Fred and I were shipmates together in the Navy for five years.we were best buds. He served 5 I made the Navy my career. We use to talk on the phone back in the 80s 90s and 2000s. Then it stopped. I just now found out of his passing 11 years ago. I think fondly of my mate and as I grow old he is in my thoughts. We will meet again.

To Bill and Pete : I was saddened to receive the obituary notice from my sister Doreen, about Fred's passing.  We grew up as childhood chums as part of the Garside gang and spent most of our youth together in school and in Sea Cadets.  I remember being a part of the band with Fred from the days of playing bugles to single valve trumpets.   I also remember us playing the Last Post at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day services.  Fred went off to the Navy, I went off to the Reserve Navy and to school.  I recall his Dad dressed in white as he took us out to play cricket.  His Dad also showed us how to use the golf grip.  Fred and I took trumpet lessons, although his was a sweeter tune than mine; I noted that he continued in the Fire Fighter Drum Corp.  I can only conclude that Fred was a great asset to them.  In the gallery of photos, the beach scene (photo #3), Fred and I are arm and arm.  Similarly, in photo #21, Fred was wearing his Easter jacket that he thought was so cool.  I have similar pictures of him on that day in my album.  Although we hadn't seen each other in at least 50 years, he is often in my thoughts.

Our thoughts & prayers are with Fred's family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.  Our sincerest condolences.

There is nothing I can do, 
to make him come back
There are no words I can say, 
that can replace the words you long to hear

There are no answer's I can give, 
that will satisfy your questions 
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his 
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back

He never really left

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday

He is every you step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart

" He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him" 

With my deepest heartfelt condolences Mark and Jessie. ~Rhona~
