I am posting this as i believe that Fred departed this life and i feel that he should not go unappreciated.
He came onto the AB some two years ago and immediately his posts, based mainly on personal experience, were discussed openly and gave great insight and advice to those that had a problem with alcohol. His knowledge of the law and current affairs were invaluable assets to the threads of Answerbank.
The vast majority of ABers are “ships in the night” and soon forgotten but i felt that Fred deserved more and this post is just to say “ Thank you Fred for your contributions.”
It is extremely likely that a complication of Alcoholism took his life.

Thank you all very much. I think Fred would have been touched to know that he was so well liked by you all.

Fred and I were from opposite ends of the political spectrum, so - in that field at least - we were more often at odds than on the same side. However, for about 15 years all told, as we first met on AnswerPoint, an American Q and A site, I knew him as a learned and considerate commentator who was never less than a perfect gentleman. I shall genuinely miss him.
My sympathies to you and family...including the canines!

Ming, if you are reading this, I'm sorry to come late in the day. I have only just come back after a long absence.

I am so sorry to hear of Fred's death. We often bantered in Law and I had an incredible amount of respect for his knowledge and his humility.

He will be missed by me personally as a regular poster there. I extend to you and your family my sincere condolences on your loss.

Fred was one of the best when it came to Q&A sites and his humor was always spot on. Hard to think of him being gone.
