Fred Charles Crouch

MY UNCLE FRED (part 2)

You never once complained about the things you we're going through in life, you we're too busy caring for other people instead of looking after yourself, and again i really respected and admired that too. Everything about you uncle Fred just shines, you are a character that everyone wanted to know, all your friends are your best friends. Your family was your number one priority and my god you did a really good job there, you have a wonderful wife and two cheeky sons "ha-ha" who are doing really well in following in your footsteps with the crazy jokes and one liners. So if you think about it Fred, you were one lucky man but i'm 100% sure you knew that. Dad says hello, he talks to you alot, and thinks about you alot, i mean how could he ever forget his little brother Fred, he will never forget you cos hes always laughing and smiling, so we think its you telling him somes jokes about my Mum or Sue "ha-ha". It's now time to say goodbye but just to let you know that you may no longer be with us but you will always remain in our hearts. Tell Nan and Grandad i said hello and send them my love.

Oh theres one more thing:

UP THE HAMMERS! WOOP WOOP!

lots and lots of love your favourite niece Katrina

p.s. don't worry, i won't tell anyone i'm your favourite niece "ha-ha"

MY UNCLE FRED (part 1)

Where do i start with you ay, "ha-ha" my crazy uncle Fred.

Well first i must say a huge Thank You to you, for looking after my dad (your big brother Barry) and my mum (the ugly one Mirrie) i would say (sister in law) but i remember you saying you didn't want people to know she was your (sister in law) which i think we can all understand that "ha-ha".
What are we going to do with you uncle Fred, who is going to call us on a daily basis now and give us his one liners, thats right Fred, you rang everyday nearly and when i picked up the phone you would say "i'm looking for a prostitute with blonde hair, short skirt and big boobs" i can't even remember the amount of times i said to you that this prostitute did not live with us and that you must of been dreaming. You never listened though, you still rang and said the same thing again and i would say the same to you "ha-ha". That was you though Fred, the joker. You always made me smile and laugh and some how managed to make me forget about the bad things that happen in life. I really miss your phone calls now, i would give anything just to hear you say that line one more time. You are a strong character Fred, i mean that in a way that you really did live life to the fullest. Life threw alot of things your way and yet some how you managed to stay strong and positive and you always had a smile on your face and i really admired that about you because you taught me that no matter what life throws at you, if you keep your head held high and a smile on your face then you can get through anything good or bad and that you just need to stay strong and i Thank You for that.

My Brother Fred

I know you would have rather stayed, it wasn't you to give up,
But the years of pain and suffering finally became too much,
I admired you still laughing when the pain was hard to bare,
I prayed to God so many times and said it wasn't fair,
My life will go on and time will go by,
But the love in my heart for you will never die,
Thoughts of our childhood and our life together,
Hold very special memories that will live on forever,
The tears in my eyes i can soon wipe away,
But the ache in my heart is here to stay,
I prayed to the Angels i asked them to ease your pain,
But i never thought it would mean i'd never see you again,
The Angels took you to Mum and Dad,
And left me feeling broken and sad,
It wont be long before heaven shines with your charms,
God Bless you Fred while he wraps you in his loving arms,
I'm proud to have had you as a Brother the bravest there's ever been,
In fact Fred you were one of the best this world has ever seen,
You took with you a part of me, and i'll never be the same,
Until i claim it back from you the day we meet again,
Sleep tight my precious Brother
All my special Love
Bone

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.


If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.


If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Not having a good day, my friend, my Fred. A Miss you Fred Day is what it is, expect we will all have our Miss You Fred Days for years to come.

Big Brother Fred

I know where you are but I don't have your phone number! You’re in heaven - English sector. Probably talking to all those Spitfire pilots about their planes and listening avidly to their stories.
As a young child I looked up to you and I always admired the way you continued to smile & joke through all the pain and turmoil you were subjected to. I have many happy memories of our times together and we certainly made the most of them, didn't we?
You were more of a soul-mate than a brother – I now have no-one who understands the utter gobbledegook we so easily understood.
I miss you so much - There’s a big whole in my life.
I know you’re not in pain anymore and that helps me understand.
You will always be a massive part of me.
Luv ya bruv,
Der, see ya later Fred
PS. Bam-Bam and Pebbles miss you loads as well.
