Peacefully at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich on Tuesday, September 3, 2019, at the age of 86. Resident of Grand Bend, formerly of Kitchener.

Our sincerest sympathy to all of Fred’s family, friends and neighbours. Fred will be truly missed but, never forgotten, by so many. A wonderful man . Loved to watch him fly his planes at back in the Cove (listen to his stories about his planes), ride his motor bike, and enjoy the love of life with Rene and his dog. R.I.P. Fred
