Fred, Steve, Brad, Kelly, and extended family, please accept our condolences on Shelia’s passing. She truly was a special lady. She had “a heart of gold” and you always knew where you stood with her…especially if you were a hockey referee. We have wonderful memories of Huff ‘N’ Puffer hockey games and tournament hospitality rooms.
Stan Alkemade
Fred, I don’t know how to express my sense of loss, let alone appreciate your actual loss. Sheila was one of the best and nicest persons I have ever known. Her love of life and family and her untiring enjoyment of all around her were examples to us all. Sheila had the ability to support people and whatever activity she was engaged in. Our sport (and the world) is diminished by the event of last week.

I knew Sheila for about 30 years (starting 1975, Northern Electric days) working at Nortel Networks. What a nice, friendly, humble and always cheerful human being she was. My deepest condolences to Fred and all those related to her.

To Brad, Fred and the entire Buchanan family, on behalf of the Brampton Falcon Hockey teams and the Sports Unlimited Beavers Oldtimers. I extend condolences and sympathy to you all with the passing of your Mother and loving Wife. Sheila was a loyal and supportive fan at the Thursday night MOHA hockey games for many years to cheer on Brad and Fred! While she may have been the only fan in attendance, her enthusiasm and spirit was always evident and enjoyed! She loved hockey and her boys!
Nick Kohut

Dear Fred and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Sheila was an exceptional woman and we were fortunate to have known her. No matter which arena the Puffers played in, we always knew she would be there to cheer us on and yell at the refs. She will be dearly missed.

Sheila you made the best cookies! A wonderful caring person – a mother and grandmother to everyone that knew her. She made our horse rides the best with her cooking – you are going to be missed but never forgotten by all. My thoughts are with you Fred and your family ! xo
Terry Johnston
So sorry to hear this sad news . We had many crossed words while working and so many good times and laughs after
retirement. Events at the club — BBQ’s at the farm–the trailer in Wilberforce_- cold beer at your new place. etc.
Having just gone through this myself I think I know what you are dealing with. Only time will help.
We will keep in touch.
TJ your friend

I am so sorry to hear about Sheila. My mom was Di Lindblad. I knew both of you as such kind and caring people. My mother adored both of you. She used to talk about you all the time.
Hopefully she and mom will be talking up a storm up there.

I remember the many wonderful times we had at the Golden Legends Club and how Sheila always had the best receipts for our many Pot Luck get-togethers. Nothing was too much to ask of her, she was always there to help. We remember those wonderful BBQ’s put on by Fred and Sheila at the farm. Fred, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and that you may remain strong through these difficult times. Sincerely, Barb
