Predeceased by his beloved wife Anne, his parents Frederich Sr. and Blanche, his brother and sisters Joseph, Anne (Braemer), Georgina (Taylor) and Marie (Larson). He is remembered as a very special uncle to many nieces and nephews and a good friend to many. Fred served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Korean War.
