VERLANDER Frederick Leonard George (Fred) Verlander passed away at 6.30 am on July, 1 aged 93 years and 11 months. Fred lived out the last four years of his life with his youngest son, Neil and daughter-in-law Gigi at their country home in Hanley Swan, Worcestershire. He lived an amazing life as a husband to the late Doris, father of five, sons, grandad and great-grandad. A long serving soldier and army boxing coach, a sport's TV and Radio broadcaster. Fred even achieved that elusive 'hole-in-one' while playing golf with his son, Neil at the age of 89. A true competitor to the very end. He will be missed!. Family flowers only please, donations if desired to the British Heart Foundation. Enquiries to Holland Funeral Service, 71 Barnards Green Road, Malvern, WR14 3LS. 01684 575343.

  • In Memory

    Just heard that your dad had died, Richard, and wanted to say how fondly I remember him and how he used to make me laugh. I am sure you feel blessed to have known him for such a long time and to have had him for your dad.
