Freddy Stringer

He was a lovely man, a good friend who taught me a lot. I feel very privileged to have flown with him at White Waltham only a few weeks ago, and to chat with him in hospital recently.

God bless you Freddy, we'll miss you.

I too have memories of Freddy and was saddened to hear of his passing. No doubt he is up there enjoying perfect VMC. RIP Freddy

Attended the service today in Farnborough. The church was packed - a real celebration of Freddy's life and faith!

It was a privilege knowing you Freddy!
