Heartfelt sympathy to Win, Fred, Perry, Debra, Sherri, Wayne and families.
We have very fond memories of Fred and Wyn, who taught all 5 Nederpelt boys (and foster children) to swim and a life time love of the water.
Fred was a truly inspirational man who touched and inspired many hearts. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Fondly remembered swim coach- inspirational and motivational leader. Especially at Christmas times when all the kids helped give him a Baptism of Water (by pushing him into the pool)! I turned toward swimming teaching and disability support, to follow his upstanding example.
Condolences to Mrs de and all of Fred's amazing family.
From Linda Leone.

We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to the de Lacy family over the passing of Fred de Lacy. Fred had an amazing ability to identify swimmers from a very young age, nurturing their skills and their belief in them to produce athletes they can be. We're sure that you will continue to watch over them, the Rogers family.
