Jacob - I am so very sorry for your loss. I spoke to your dad at Walmart just a while ago and I said, "how is our Jacob doing?"

It was with sadness that I read about the passing of Fred. I first met Fred back in 1977 when I started working at Canada Post in Owen Sound. Fred and I had alot of "computer moments" over the years...always entertaining. He endured some challenges in his life, one of which was the passing of his beloved partner, Shirley. He then went on to raise his family which have all done well. Farewell Fred....

Ernie worked with Fred at the Owen sound, post office for many years, and came to know your dad well. We will miss his strong comments, ideas, and visits to our bakery, and elsewhere, Our deepest condolence to his family,
It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them.

Fred was quite the guy. Great to work with. Fred and I did a lot of kibitzing at one another and he always took it so well. He would always have a way to hit right back at me. I will always remember him as someone special from my working days at the Post Office. Carl and Ruth Myatt.

So sorry to see this in the paper today. Our sincere sympathy to his children who have now lost both of their parents at young ages. He visited out of the blue about a year ago, was good to see him again. We had a great afternoon sharing memories from the past. You kids were his everything, you'll both be missing each other......look for him close to your hearts...he will be there. We are so sorry for your loss.

We were so incredibly sad and sorry to hear about Fred's passing. He was always larger than life to me, the baby of the cousins. We weren't always in touch but he was always in my soul. We will miss him.

My heart is breaking. Fred is the 1st of the "cousins" to leave this earth for a better place. May he always be remembered as a loving father, son, brother, husband, nephew, uncle and cousin. May God find a special place for him near Shirley and may God hold Fred's family in the palm of his hand.
