We extend our condolences to you in the sad loss of a dear husband, father, Grandpa and brother.Fred was one of the “big boys” at the old one-room school, SS 3 & 10 but was always very protective of his sister and also of me.

Dear Carolyn,Jennifer and Tim, We are sorry to hear of Freds’ passing. We have many memories of Fred and the family. I remember many family visits, when we were kids. Our parents would be chatting and playing cards while we played checkers and other board games. There were many church suppers for Fred to help at, always with a smile on his face. Our thoughts are with you.

Hi Carolyn,
Our deepest condolences on Fred’s passing.
I happen to be another fortunate individual that had the pleasure of working with, and sharing time with Fred.
I hope that you will find some comfort in knowing that he lived with love for his family, sense of responsibility, and deep religious belief.
Furthermore, I had the good fortune to meet Tim that has shown to be very much like his dad, and if Jennifer (that I never had the chance to meet) is anything like him, I’m sure you will forever be surrounded by love and comfort.
Sincerely,
Joe Gallinaro

Tim, Carolyne and Jennifer,
I Just wanted to say I’m very sorry to hear of Fred’s passing and I wish you all the best. I wish I was able to attend and give this message in person but I won’t be back in the province in time.
Fred was a well respected member of this community and one of the people I can remember from an early age showing us the importance of being involved through his actions.
He was instrumental in encouraging Tim and I to have an interest in volunteering with the fire dept way back in high school which has in turn become a career for me.
Carolyne, both you and Fred were instrumental in the upbringing of the youth of our community for so many years and for that Fred will always be remembered. Something to be proud of for sure. For that, we thank you both.
Sincerely, Ian Bell
