Uncle Fred was our Dad's big brother and we can remember wonderful Christmas's at his house with lovely buffets and songs around the piano.

Later we can remember Dad and Uncle both having a Whisky Almanac (pocket book of malt whiskies) and trying to find a different one each year for each other they could share and scribble notes about! It got more difficult over the years to stay in the right price bracket!

Uncle never forgot birthday cards or Christmas cards and his postcards from his holidays with Helen and later the archaeology trips were always a joy to receive; he never failed to astound us with his energy and love of life. 

To reiterate what has been said before he was a true gentleman and we were all proud to call him uncle.
