Doug McBurney
My sincere condolences to the Haberer family. I first met Fred in 1971 when I
started working at the funeral home in Wingham. From the very first moment he was without doubt a true gentleman. Fred was always the same no matter how busy he was, he never seemed to busy for a short chat.
After he retired it was a pleasant surprise if he showed up at a burial on a busy day.
It was an honour to have known him.

Dearest Aunt Audrey, Chris and Steve and familles,
We offer you all our deepest condolences at the loss of Uncle Fred. He loved you all very deeply and you will surely miss him.
He accomplished so much in his lifetime, and left each person he met with a smile in their hearts. That is the person he was; open, honest, and caring.
I remember when Doug, Don , Cathy I would spend time in Zurich in the summer, and Uncle Fred welcomed Doug at threshing time to help along with all the others. ( I believe Doug drove the tractor.)
Uncle Fred was a gentleman to the core, and we will all miss him.
Praying for you .
God will carry you all through this, so trust your hearts to Him.
Love , Elizabeth and Gaetano,( Guy)

Dear Aunt Audrey, Chris & Gary, Steve & Michele and Families.
We were sad to hear of the passing of our dear Uncle Fred. We have so many wonderful memories of fun, family times together over the years. One that stands out was his telling of the story, “Rindercella,” as the MC at our wedding. He was able to give a repeat performance 25 years later at our 25th Anniversary which was pretty remarkable. Uncle Fred is now at peace, standing beside Dad, and singing in a heavenly choir.

Michael & Marguerite Falconer
Dear Steve, Nick and Haberer Family All,
We were saddened to hear of Fred’s passing. I was so privileged to meet Fred for the first time in June 1975 when I came home to Clinton to work for Mac Cameron and Clarence Denomme the then owners of the Ball Funeral Home. Three years later in June 1978 my wife Marguerite and I were fortunate enough to be able to purchase the business and expand it to other locations in Blyth and Goderich over the years until we retired in October of 2012. I always enjoyed the relationship we had with Fred and with Haberer Concrete . Fred was a true gentleman and was always very professional when attending the burial of those loved ones entrusted to our care. The respect he and his staff showed and the quality of the products and service he provided were always appreciated by us and I am sure by many others in the funeral industry. I always held him in high regard and I will miss his friendly smile and his firm handshake each and every time we met. Please know that we share in your loss of this fine gentleman and be proud of the legacy he has left you as a family and in business. Our most heartfelt sympathies and prayers are sent to both you and your staff. Well done thy good and faithful servant and may you Rest In Peace. Michael & Marguerite Falconer ( former owners of Falconer Funeral Homes Ltd.)

I first met Fred in 1991 when Ross Ribey of the Whitney-Ribey Funeral Home in Seaforth introduced me to him, and to funeral service. Fred and his good wife, Audrey, were always so kind and gracious, as were the Haberer generations to follow, those of whom I encountered through my former employers, Ross and Joyce Ribey and John and Sandy McGlynn, together with my current employers at Seaforth, Haskett Funeral Homes Ltd.
It is been my honour and privilege to now have worked with Fred, Steve and Nick through my association with their fine concrete vault business in Zürich, that Fred co-founded.
Sincere condolences to all the Haberer family, and to Harberer Inc. employees who must truly, as well, share this deep loss.
