It was heartbreaking to hear the news of Uncle Fred’s passing. Many of my fond memories as a young boy involved Uncle Fred. Some of my first memories of troutin’ trips were with Him. Oh the hiking you had to do to get to the best spots!
That infectious laugh and sense of humour will long be in my memories.

Thinking about you all today as you say goodbye to Uncle Fred. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you but my family is truly thinking about yours. I haven’t seen Fred in recent years but will always remember his kindness as a child and his jovial laughter. God Speed Uncle Fred.
So many fond memories of growing up with you Kim and Bobby and knowing how much you cared for Fred and he cared for you. Thinking of you both (and your Mom) and sending lots of love. Donna
Kim, Jamie. Bobby, Jackie, Carol and your families. I have known Fred for a long time. He was my uncle by marriage and a friend to all that knew him. Many times me and Derrick would go visit them when he lived in the yellow house and you can be sure there was always a lot of chuckling going on. He will be missed by many who knew and loved him. Our heartfelt sorrow thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time. RIP Fred. Donna Derrick and Randy
So sorry for your loss Aunt Marg.. I will always remember Fred with a smile because he always made me smile with his laugh. Keep his memories close to your heart and remember him with a smile.. that's what he would want. Xo Michelle and Warren Cable
Bobby, Kim and Carol: we were saddened to hear of Fred’s passing. He was a great brother in law, friend and great dad. He will be surely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
So sorry to hear this news. Fred had the most infectious laugh and the greatest sense of humour I've ever witnessed in anyone. Every time I ever was in his company, he would, without fail, bring a smile and a belly laugh to the conversation. It was a real gift that many of us should be so fortunate to have. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to his family, both near and far. God bless.
To all of Fred's Family , sending you my Sincere Condolences . I remember Fred from many years ago , the Fun , &the Laughter that we had.
