Fred was a true gentleman. I always enjoyed curling with Fred.
He always made the game enjoyable whether you were on his team or the opposition.
He will certainly be missed
Paul and I saw Fred on June 24th looking well
and happy. So very very sorry to hear of his
passing.
What a lovely man. He will be greatly missed.
Spent many a day on the golf course at Dundas Valley G.C.C. playing in the senior years group.
Fred kept after me to try curling and Eventually did and again enjoyed his company.
What an incredible gentleman.
Curling with or against Fred was always the highlight of my day.Win or lose(and who really cared?) ,Fred was a joy to be around,and I will certainly miss him out on the ice.I loved his green tartan pants he wore whenever he wanted to throw off the opposition.
My condolences to the family.He will certainly be missed at Dundas Valley.
Have known and respected Fred since ’55 as a boss in the sixties and as a fellow curler and a friend ever since. He will be missed.
I didn’t know you long Fred, but you were a good man. I will miss your smile and your cute little laugh.
Lynn and I met Fred in 1992, for eight years as a next door good-neighbour and fellow condominium board member, and later as a long distance friend, but we always kept in touch through mail and an annual lunch. We will have fond memories of him.
Dear Fred, You were and always shall be a fine gentleman, a good friend, and a superb curler. Thank you for all of the great games you skipped at Dundas Valley and for all the great stories you shared after the last rocks were thrown. I shall miss you very much Fred. Peace be with you and strength be with your loved ones. Sincerely, Ron Archer.
Fred was the nicest guy to be around. A man who enjoyed life and always had a twinkle in his eye. I enjoyed curling with him and seeing him at various plays and concerts. I had the great pleasure of listening to his wartime adventures over coffe at the club in April. He was looking forward to the next season when I saw him the day before his stroke. I miss him already. Condolences to his family.
He’s still with us. Above, and still curling below. Golf was his game. Cards and so on. The lessons he taught us will be passed on to others. Friends, relatives, strangers, angels, and family will always feel his effect left on earth. He is missed but you just have to find him in your prayers and thoughts.
