There are no words to express how deeply Fred will be missed by all of us at OCTRA. God speed Fred.
Fred judged horses and people with equal honesty and respect. I will miss his companionship, stories and the sharing the occasional Scotch, in fields around North America. His love of life, horses (particularly quarter horses) and his wife and companion, Sheila, was always there. Ride on in peace my good friend.
Steve and family. Thoughts are with you at this time. Much sympathy.
My deepest sympathies to the family. Hoping you find comfort in your memories at this most difficult time.
Thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. May the peace of Christ and your love for each other sustain you all and give you courage.

My sympathy to you. I have known so many members of the family over such a long time, right back to the parents. Its always so sad when a family member passes.
Are tought are with the familly.Are prayers are with you.
I just wanted to pass along my condolences to the family. Fred was quite a character and the times I saw him he was always full of fun. Fred always had a lot to talk about and I always enjoyed being around him whenever I saw him. Fred and Sheila were always good to my mom and dad throughout their life and always made the effort to stay in touch with my family. Sheila and Fred always took the time to visit mom in her retirement home after dad passed away. I know that Fred and Sheila will be greatly missed by their children, grandchildren and friends but they can feel better now knowing that they are once again together forever in Heaven.

My condolences to Brad and family on the loss of your father. He was most importantly a great person but also wonderful team mate and friend to many. Not many skated alongside Fred without appreciating his willingness to let the opposition know he had your back…. all the best Fred…may you rest in peace

My sincere sympathies to all of the family.
Our deepest condolences to your family. Sorry we couldn’t join you in person. We have fond memories of celebrating New Years with Fred and the family on Outer Drive for many years! He’ll be missed.
We were members of OCTRA quite a few years ago. I remember going against Fred and Sheila in a Ride and Tie with my neighbour Viola. We were all trying not to be last, not being all that spry.
I also remember Fred’s marvellous lasagna dinners at some of the rides. I still have the recipe for the vegetable lasagna, with umpteen mushrooms. Absolutely yummy.
Fred and Sheila were some of the very nicest people in OCTRA. Sorry they are gone.
To Fred’s family, Pat and I offer deepest condolences in the loss of your father, Fred. We knew him for many years from our parish in Acton. We are thinking of you all at this sad time. Pat and Peg Graham
Condolences to the Buchanan family. Since about 1964 at Northern Electric on Dixie Rd there have been many hours spent with Fred trying to see who could tell the biggest story. Other memories of when he ran the NT Club. The BBQ’s at the farm.– Sheila did the work–Fred took the credit. And trailering in Wilbeforce to name a few.
He will be missed.

I was saddened and shocked to hear about Fred’s passing. I am a Nortel retiree and knew Fred at Nortel and Golden Legends Club for many years. He and Sheila, who we dearly missed, helped to keep our Club going with the their many hours of volunteering. The Golden Legends volunteers have many happy memories of the BBQ’s at the farm and the great Pot Luck dinners.
My sympathy and others from Golden Legends extend our sympathy to the family.
