Lee and family: I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was a rare breed of man. He was strong of character without being loud; he was a joker without being mean and he was a staunch defender of those he loved. He was a good man. This is how I will remember him.

With Love from his sisters Dar and Diane

Dear lee and family. Our thoughts an prayers are with you. We remember we use to have many conversations with you and Fred and if you remember they were not face to face they were between the kitchen walls on met calf cres. Lol he would bang on the wall and say anybody there and start having a conversation with us. . He was a kind and giving man helped out where and when he could. God has taken him to a better place no more pain or sickness. Again our thoughts and prayers are with you and family

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Lee, Nick, Christine & families. As well our thoughts are with Fred's sisters and their families. We will remember Fred as someone who was very kind & always willing to help others out whenever he could. He was great at customer service at the Petro-Canada, taking the time where others wouldn't, to help people on their way whether it be directions, advice with car problems or simply listening to a customer's difficult day. We will surely miss Fred. Please know that we are thinking of you Lee & ready to help with anything you may need. With love, Tracey & Erich

It's not easy being so far away at times like these. Although I am not there to mourn with family and friends, I am remembering my big brother who played that role well. Sometimes annoyingly when he would refuse to drive his bratty teen sister & her friend downtown, only to pick us up when we hitch-hiked and lecture us about all of the reasons why we shouldn't do this - I always pointed out that if he'd just agreed to drive us in the first place...well those that knew him, know how that conversation went. Other times he came and helped me move my entire apartment across the parking lot or prepared the last of my stuff to be shipped to BC after I'd been here long enough to know I was staying. I have missed you and will miss you. I wish I could be there to share this time with Lee - the love of his life, Nick, Christine and the rest of our family. I'm glad that you have Bryan & Frances as well as our Aunt Marilyn there to support you. I also know my nieces Tiffany & Devon are feeling this loss and I wish I could be there for you two too. Love you Derf, may you rest in peace now that the pain is gone.

I love you Dad. Things will not be the same without you. Rest in peace knowing Nick and I will take care of your Dingbat.

I worked with Fred some 25 years ago and he was the brother of a dear friend, Darlene. He was a solid guy, very good at what he did. A great friend, a sweet man and he will be missed. God bless him on his journey to the Spiritual world. God bless his family with what they need to grow on. It's what he would have wanted!
