Dear Valsa and family, Gerard Harrison and I are so sad and sorrowful at the news and loss of dear Fredy. Fredy was such a wonderful, kind and gentle person who we will dearly miss. When I first came to Melbourne both you and Fredy welcomed me to your family and to Melbourne which was a strange and foreign place for me. Through any difficulties I had both you and Fredy showed me such warmth, support and generosity I wont forget. You both have always been such lovely friends we can count on. Fredy was an inspirational person to me. Both kind and smart , he also has a humility and grace you dont see in everyone. I dont think I ever saw him once complain about his illness. The thing I loved about Fredy was his sense of humour. He could always say some great one liners that would make everyone smile. My thoughts are with you all in this sad time. Love Sarita Gerry Harryxx

Harry Mond — 27 February 2021

My name is Harry Mond and I am a pacemaker cardiologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. In the early 1970s, Fredy was working in Cardiothoracics and I was a youngster doing Cardiology training at the Royal Melbourne. My boss, Graeme Sloman insisted that I learn to implant pacemakers as surgeons were becoming reluctant to perform open chest procedures in these critically ill elderly patients. Being one of the first physician implanters in the world, there was no one to train me and my basic surgical skills were negligible. I approached Fredy who was delighted to help. He was kind, patient, skilled and it was never a burden for him. I wonder today that if he hadnt done this whether I would have ever mastered the skills and pioneered many of the basic principles of pacemaker implantation, which are even relevant today. Although he would never have regarded it as a big deal, nevertheless, it was gigantic for me, and I have been forever grateful. He left for PANCH soon after and I never really got to thank him years later, when I achieved my goals.Please accept my sincerest condolences. A wonderful man will be sadly missed.

God saw Freddy getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come to Me."With tearful eyes you watched him suffer, and saw him slowly fade away. Although we all loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best. My heart and thoughts are with you all. Margret xxxxx
