Sadly just informing you that Fredleduex passed away last night. He went to hospital just over a week ago and unfortunately never left. It was all quite sudden. Only found out he had a terminal illness a couple of days ago.
He was a mad Geelong supporter all his life along with his 3 younger brothers (two of which have also died tragically in the past decade). Was a larger than life character who was, from what I heard, a very successful lawyer in his early years before he fell on hard times. He loved his cricket, was a big history buff and had very opinionated political views. He didn't care what others thought of him, didn't care about things like success, and would be more then happy to let you know when he thought you were speaking crap and not thinking critically.
He cared greatly about creating a better world. He cared greatly for his brothers and took sole care of his mum who suffered from dementia for a long time so she didn't have to go into a nursing home.
And despite lets say, being a bit loose with the truth at time, his knowledge of old Geelong games, players and supporters would be hard to surpass. There are great Geelong stories that have now been forever lost after last night. He bled the Geelong football club. He will be greatly missed.
