Today was a very hard day seeing Fred looking so peaceful in the chapel of rest wearing his RAF uniform with his beloved hat and photo of his granddaughters just sleeping and just wishing he would say something or just to hear that laugh when he would find something so funny it was so contagious but stood looking at him you feel so comforted by his presence like his hand on your shoulder and you share a moment In the room with those you love around you and it hits you how many people have wonderful regards for Fred ! He wasn’t just a superintendent registrar he registered thousands of births that then grew with the family’s into marriages with same name on the bottom F.w York and to follow deaths he was still very much still with those same family’s and bridge of kindness and warmth in such hard times he was known for many generations certification , he also wrote books , inserts , had pictures and captions and was world renowned in Hong Kong , and Singapore especially. Whom ever he met he had a a spirit that never grew old and a welcoming personality to anyone x he grew beautiful friendships and life long companions, and touched the lives of so so many people and we feel so proud and comforted to be able to share stories here and hear some to share with his grandchildren in later times x what a chap ! What a legend!
