Fred is so full of interesting story's and since I was a child he has always kept me entertained. The passing of this man was heart breaking he was a national tresure god bless u Fred

I'm from the US, and I've watched every video of Fred I could find over the years. Regardless of nationality, anyone who has made their living in the weather, breaking hard things, lifting heavy things, all our clothes stained, can fully identify with fred on a deeper level. I've done high work, but never climbed smoke stacks, yet I still feel like I knew him.

I only saw the later tv series when he was the tv personality not the tv subject. I didn't know that he had a model stationary steam engine as a little lad.

It was really heartbreaking for Fred when Sue left him and rejected the lifestyle she knew he was into before marrying him.

She’s one of the early ‘modern feminist.’ Classic nowadays. Be sad for her kids she disrupted for a whim

Fred must have been an animal in the sack,still knocking them out at 50, and his birds were younger and fairly attractive too. Get Up Fred

Does anyone know which were Dear Fred's best wives, I would guess his first and second wife was the best, the third wife seems a dragon.

@jay-lm4we 9 ай бұрын

None of them were any good. His first wife left him and cleaned him out. His second wife left him for another man and again took fred for what he had. His third wife was a gold digger but after being burned by the first two he left her nothing. He was a legend and may he rest in peace.
