Hi everyone, it's with great sadness I'm writing to let you know that our dear Fred Niblett has passed away. I'm sure we won't ever forget his cheerful jokes and smiles each morning. I know many of us would be in the forum waiting for Fred to log on with a smile and a laugh even though he was fighting his own battles with lung cancer.
Here's to Fred ... thank you for all the laughs and smiles along the way.
May you rest in peace.

Thank you Sue 
hi lyn sorry here about fred and his jokes are missed.
Thank you aberdeenman, I hope you're keeping well.
Lyn, I am sure there will be a huge response to this very sad news. Fred was such a dear man & very supportive of me when I lost my husband. He was a real ray of light on the forum, even when he was going through his own health issues. My thoughts are with his family at this very sad time but they will have happy memories of a truly lovely man. x
Likewise Helen ... Fred was very supportive when I lost my husband too. He was a very well loved member of the forum wasn't he. I used to log on around 7am waiting for his jokes along with many other members. He will be very sadly missed. I hope you're keeping well Helen. x

He was full of love for his family and they will be so proud of him, miss him dreadfully and need all the love coming their way from our site. Heaven will welcome him and be kind to his lovely family in the days to come. A real privilege that we know of him. Everlasting peace to you Fred. Polly X
