Personal Stories
God-daughter to Aubrey
Aubrey Freer, known to our family as Uncle Aub, was the godfather of my sister.
Aubrey was a charming man, friendly and loving to us as children. He was gentle and had a lively sense of humour as I remember him as laughing a lot.
He had a 20 year history as Commander in the navy and, I believe, a very well respected man.
My sister Jeanette, his goddaughter, stayed and visited he and husband wife Jean, a lot. I think my sister was named after Jean! Jeanette dearly loved her godfather.
A wonderful man who gave great service to Australia.
