My dearest husband of 60 years. You worked so hard and achieved so much for your family. We are all so proud of you and what you have given us. You didn't deserve the pain and suffering you went through, and now you are free. I love and miss you so much.

Frederick Thomas James (Fred):
You fought the good fight as usual. In charge until the very end, as usual. The last race has finished and I can't call you to tell you about the run. Never mind, we'll just watch the replay a few times and enjoy it. Trust me, we will find another fast one.
See ya mate, Steve.
CASTLEDINE
Frederick Thomas James (Fred):
Dad, my heart is broken now that you've gone, but to know you're free of pain is such a relief. Words can't convey the love and admiration I have for you. Thank you for your wisdom, guidance and endless love. You gave so much and asked for so little.
I love you.

To our dearest Poppy,
Thank you for being the best Pop anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for everything you did for our family, and loving us all so much. Thank you for all of the life lessons, advice and wonderful stories. And thank you for fighting one hell of a fight right until the end. Words cannot describe our heart break, however we are so incredibly lucky to have so many beautiful memories of the wonderful man you were.
Forever in our hearts, we love you Cobber.

To Pat and Family and The Taylor Family, I offer my condolences and must say the "Celebration of Fred's Life" held on Tuesday 29th January at his Beloved SDFC where the Members Lounge was packed to the rafters like the days when he won those 3 Premierships in the early 60's. The emotional eulogy from Jimmy Taylor replaying his final nod from Fearless, a tear jerker and thanks Jimmy, along with Bunt's sharing a Bulk Wheelchair buy with Fred, also M.C. Darren McAullay's replay of the Perth Cup win of Meliador, with the colours designed by our Swannies Mate, the Late Max Simmonds, Black and White Stripes, no less, with Green Sleeves and Cap, bought a cheer all round, Then to finish off a laugh all round at a video clip some 40 yrs ago of Fred's Version of "Dellilah" . At completion of his final drive around Bazzo Oval, we all enjoyed some drinks and nibbles and fellowship for which we thank Pat and Steve and Family.... PS.. I must say I was impressed when chatting to the Grandsons, that Fred's Life Members Medal, in true Military Style was worn on his right lapel indicating another persons honour and of course you wear your own awards on your left lapel. Well Done Guys... RIP Lest we Forget
