So sorry to hear of the passing of Fred. We will certainly miss the visits and great conversations. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Rest in paradise, you've earned it xo
We will miss Fred--his smiling face, his quiet manner, his ability to bring life into a room--but most of all we will miss his visits to our apartment to share a meal. He was an 'ever-present' guy if you needed a hand and his old red truck found a place in our backyard on many occasions. Our friend, you are beyond pain but never to be forgotten.
I cared for Fredrick at Cobourg Retirement Home, and just what an amazing soul he was. He’s someone that wouldn’t let his diagnosis define him or his quality of life. He was someone that everyone loved being around, both staff and residents. My condolences to his family, he really touched the people around him, mine included.
A Memorial Donation has been made to the following charity:
