Update on Fred Jepson funeral arrangements

This is to inform you that following a request from Cherry, Fred Jepson’s partner, we have been asked to advise that at present no date for Fred’s Funeral service has been confirmed.

Cherry is enormously thankful for the number of messages and condolence cards which have been received, and this speaks volumes for the level of respect Fred enjoyed from representatives and members across the union.

As soon as further details become available, we will inform branches.

Thank you

Really sad news that Fred Jepson passed away yesterday after a long illness.

A former President, NEC, Postal Executive and Mt Pleasant Branch member, Fred was a lifelong trade unionist and a larger than life advocate for our members and working class people.

He will always be remembered as one of the true characters of our Union and the movement. Our sincere condolences go to Cherry and the family.

Rest in peace Fred.

- Dave Ward, General Secretary
