Our forum and hobby has suffered a great loss!!

[dsm4g63punk]

I didnt know Freddy personaly like many of you but i followed and admired his building skills since the days of the garden form. He was a true craftsman and will sure be missed.
I had been waiting on one of his dump beds for a project i had been working on. We were in the process of PMing back and forth about it. He had told me he was in the process of moving and had them all boxed up and would get back to me in a few days the last pm he sent me was on the 15th. I was very shocked by the news of his death, he had definitly gone before his time. My heart goes out to his family and his friends... RIP Freddy i dont think ull ever be forgoten by this community

What a loss. I couldn't believe what I was reading when I first saw this post. Best wishes to the FGD family and may he RIP.

Well, I don't know what to say except I'm in shock! This is the first time being on here in quite sometime and couldn't believe what I was reading. Never met him in person but through a couple phone conversations and e-mails. Always loved seeing his builds and seeing his new creations come to life.

RIP Freddy

I'm so sorry for your loss. There is never enough words to describe the feelings we feel when a loved one passes away. I never met Freddy but did get to know him on the forum. I will remember him long after I've forgotten everyhing else. My prayers go out to his family.

I'm so sad to hear that
My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.
I only knew him for a few months, but I could tell what a great chap he was!

I'm paying my respects to FGD and his family. I never met him face to face, but we've talked a lot. He was a great inventor of things in this hobby, and I've bought a dump truck from him. I'm sad that I he's gone. Take care FGD family.

FreddyGearDrive was an inspiration to all of us. He will live on in the thoughts and works of this club. We have all been impacted by his instructions and criticisms. His enthusiasm for the hobby will remain as long as we continue to challenge each other to achieve our very best and refuse to accept anything less than perfection from ourselves when we build our models.
My condolences to his family for their loss and May God bless them during this time.

R.I.P Freddy...

i have only just got back to checking the many forums this been the last, i was extremely shocked and upset to read this post..

my thoughts (all though late) got to his family and friends.

[Texasperry]

I too have been absent and was shocked to read of Freddy's passing.
I spoke with him only once and that was back when this forum did not exist and most of us were on another forum run by Ric. I also shared many emails. Mostly about snow plowing. Unfortunatly life has put many speed bumps in my path and I have had to put my hobbies on hold for extended periods of time. I come back from an extended abcence and find this sad news.
My prayers will be with his family.

D@mn, I can't believe this,! I haven't been one here in a very long time like close to 7 months but I'm so very sorry to hear about Freddy. I didn't know him personelly at all but his post and builds were totally awesome and very helpful to me. This sucks to hear about this now, such a long time since it happened. Very very late, but my prayers go to his family and friends..
