    >
    > 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.
