> Friends,

> It is with great sadness that we have to tell you of the death last week of
> Fred Friend.
>
> Fred was one of the staunchest supporters of Open Access and worked to
> further its aims for almost two decades. Early in that period he was, of
> course, Librarian at University College London, a position that gave him
> influence and the means to push arguments for openness that were at the time
> new and considered rather heretical. After retirement from that post Fred
> served for many years as a consultant to JISC, advising and carrying out
> research work for JISC on scholarly communications. He was in his element in
> this role as it gave him the opportunities he needed to continue making the
> arguments for Open Access and to develop practical initiatives that helped
> to advance the cause. Latterly, Fred pursued his aims through continuing
> consultancy jobs and indeed at the time of his death he was embarking on an
> ambitious analysis of OA policies.
>
> We have lost a very good friend of Open Access and a great humanitarian. For
> many there will also be the feeling of losing a kind and loyal personal
> friend.
>
> His daughter, Cate, said to us, ³It means so much to hear about his
> professional life - he was so private and so humble that he never really
> talked about what he did (I used to joke with him and tell him that I told
> everyone that he was a spy!).² We would like the OA community -- Fred¹s
> friends -- to let Cate and the rest of Fred¹s family know about the work
> Fred did and the great colleague that he was, so we are going to collect
> tributes to Fred and his work and will put these together into a book for
> his family.
>
> If you have something to say, please email your words to one of us,
> including your job title where relevant to give some context to your
> comments for the family. Thank you in advance for your contributions.
>
> For those who can attend the funeral, the ceremony will be held at 12.30pm
> on Thursday 1st May at St Michael and All Angels, Hughenden, near High
> Wycombe in the UK. The family will welcome anyone who can be with them on
> that occasion.
