Memorial Service for Fred Woolley

Its with deep regret and immense sadness that I inform you of Fred Woolley's passing and notify you of his funeral and memorial service to be held at the Camps Bay United Church, The Drive - on Saturday 17 January @ 11am. A memorial will be held opposite at the CB Bowls Club afterwards.
 
Fred suffered a massive heart attack at the CB Bowls Club during the afternoon of 13 January and sadly died around midnight of the same day after an operation to clear a blocked artery and unssuccessful attempt to restore his heart function.
 
As a fellow member of CBW, Fred became a local hero when he successfully defended himself against the notorius armed robbery gang, shooting 2 of them which led to arrests being made and assisting us to crack the case wide open.  Although he was cleared and even praised for his justified and correct actions, the attack left him severely traumatised and stressed.
 
Fred was a man of many true talents & his larger-than-life personality, great off-the-wall sense of humour and genuine, sincere friendship will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
 
Our thoughts go out at this stage to all his Family, Sandy, his fellow Gun Club / Pin Shooting mates, his Bowling Club mates, his Backgammon mates, his fellow parishioners at the United Church and all those whose lives he touched in his special way.
 
Please join us on Saturday to say a fitting farewell to a wonderful guy.

This event is for sector: Middle, Rontree 1, Rontree 2, Glen, Bakoven, Village

Fred Woolley - We attended the Memorial Service of Fred Woolley - what a wonderful celebration of his life it turned out to be. We did not know Fred (the only couple in Camps Bay - of that I am convinced!) but attended to thank him for his bravery and for giving us back our dignity and finally allowing us to start healing. Thank you Fred, you will always be in our thoughts.
