That is sad news indeed. Fred Fish was a very well known and respected member of the Amiga community. I used to collect his Fred Fish Public Domain CD collections as they were a great resource containing the best of the Amiga PD scene back in the Amiga days.

When I got an Amiga 500 from eBay, it came with hundreds of disks, I needed them as I had no more spare disks. That were only Fish disks with loads of freeware stuff, excellent. I still have them.
