Freddy Brack's passion was living large - and riding.  (aka FreezinFred) was a member of Southern Cruisers 328, Los Silverados, and Volusia Riders International.
 
He was a good friend to everyone he met and was always willing to lend a hand - especially if it was to build something. Rarely did he miss a Wednesday ride.
 
Fred and his wife Paddy were enjoying family, friends, careers and pets when in the fall of 2004 Fred seemed to get a flu bug that he couldn't shake. On February 22, '05 and barely able to get out of bed, he was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia and immediately admitted into Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. By May he was finally in remission and able to go home to Thornton.
 
Life was good and the bike got lots of miles until September '06 when several Southern Cruisers brothers escorted him (all on bikes) back to Princess Margaret Hospital for a stem cell transplant. Life changed and Fred fought infection after infection.
 
Although they said it was initially a success, major general damage was caused and by November 08 Fred was admitted into Barrie Hospital with major brain damage and a very compromised immune system. Paddy was at his side every day as his mind and body deteriorated.
 
On July 17, 2009, 1 day after his 50th birthday, Fred passed away in Penetang General Hospital.
 
The oncologists at Princess Margaret Hospital performed an autopsy. Fred's legacy will be that hopefully they can prevent others from going through the immense pain and fear that he and Paddy battled for almost 5 years.
