17 April 1950 – 25 September 2026

Forever Our Dad, Pop & Our Strength 💜

On the 25th of September 2026, our world changed forever when we said goodbye to our beautiful Dad, Freddie.

Dad was one of a kind. A hardworking, strong-willed, stubborn but incredibly loving man who would do anything for his family. He wasn't always one for big words, but his love showed through everything he did. Whether it was lending a helping hand, fixing something that needed fixing, or simply being there when we needed him, Dad always found a way.

He loved the simple things in life, and nothing meant more to him than his family. To us, he wasn't just Freddie. He was our Dad, our Pop, our protector and a man whose love and strength will stay with us forever.

There are so many moments I wish we could have back, so many conversations still to have and memories still to make. Losing Dad has left a space in our hearts that can never be filled. 💔

In honour of Dad's memory, I've created this tribute page to support Pankind – Pancreatic Cancer Australia.

Through donations, we hope to help fund vital pancreatic cancer research, improve survival rates and provide support to other Australian families facing this heartbreaking journey.

If sharing Dad's story or making a donation can help another family have more precious moments with someone they love, then that is a beautiful way to honour his memory.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. And if you're unable to donate, simply sharing this page would mean the world to our family.

Dad, we will carry your love, your strength and your memories with us every single day.

This isn't goodbye forever, Dad. It's just goodbye until we meet again. 🤍

Forever loved, forever missed and never forgotten.

With love, Larelle 💜
