[Obituary] Fred Dodds

Monday 9th of November 2020

Fred Dodds passed away today.

Not many people knew Fred was battling cancer. But that is what Fred was like.

One of the many loveable things about Fred was his humour. Decades ago he was involved in industry debates and I still remember them because of Fred. More recently when he accepted his Financial Advice New Zealand Outstanding Contribution to the Industry award he gave a wonderful, off the cuff, hilarious speech. [You can watch the video below.]

As a Dad I loved to see how he publicly showed true affection for his daughter, Toni. I know he was very proud that Toni worked in the same industry as him and, like Fred, she is determined to help lift professional standards.
