Sorry to read of Fred’s passing. We shared many rides to Probus and lunches to celebrate occasions, as well as a drive out to Mangamingi dog trials last year. Thinking of you all.

Sincere sympathy to the family of Fred Cook. He raced motorcycles here in Ireland in the mid-1950s. He won the 350 c.c. race at the Leinster 200 (Wicklow circuit) on June 16, 1956. A few weeks later his brother Bob was killed in an accident while practising for a race at Aintree in England. Sincere sympathy - Harry Havelin (Dublin, Ireland)
