Absolutely horrified to hear today of the sudden death of Fred Dean of Cork, who will be well known to some of us. More into bus models and IRRS matters than railways, he was nonetheless a familiar sight. Sympathies to his family. RIP.

Thanks for letting us know, JHB. Always found great vehicle photos of his online. May he rest in peace.

I got the phone call earlier day. Im speechless. For context to this. He elected me to the Munster Area IRRS comitee just 11 days ago. He gave a show about what he loved, the bus. 
 

RIP

Unbelieveable news- so shocked.

I was only looking recently at photos of buses he emailed on in 2012 that l was looking for at the time.

He was always so helpful.

R.I.P.

So sad. I watched his slide show at the IRRS Munster AGM only 2 weeks ago. Always a gentleman. Far too young to have passed very sad for his family. RIP.
