I received an e-mail from Elise Duckworth that Fred has passed away. He's had many problems with his heart and I assume that is what finally did him in. Keeep Elise in your prayers and remember Fred for the excellent hunter, conservationist and author that he was.

Very very sad to hear that and I was privileged to have hunted many of Fred's clients in Zambia. He was one of the greats and put so much effort into Ethiopia. Elise will be in my prayers. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

Very very sad news indeed! i was privileged enough to meet him in India late last year for a wedding of a mutual friend. He was one of lifes real characters and I wished I could have spent more time with him. Condolences to his wonderful wife Elise and the rest of their family! | |||

I have known Fred for more thirty years, and can now say that my first (and woefully wrong) impression of him was exactly opposite the gentle and intelligent man that he actually was. I had the honor of editing the articles he wrote for Safari magazine and soon found he needed no help in making his stories easy to read and interesting.

Thoughts and prayers to his family. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

I'm about halfway through reading his book. He did what we guys can only dream about. May he rest in peace! | |||

He arranged my first rip to Ethiopia in 1982. I can accurately state that it changed my life. RIP, Fred. Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | |||

I never had the privilege of meeting Fred, but his reputation is larger than life. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

RIP Fred. Didn't know him really. Did run into him on a boundary road in the Selous 13 years ago. Peace be with his family. | |||

He cast a very large shadow on the land he loved. I know he will be missed by many people who's lives he touched. Sad news. Dave Fulson | |||

Phil, and now Fred! How sad! It seems we loose one about every two or three months lately! These guys are among a cadre of giants! The African hunting world is being dealt a heavy blow with their passing!
