For our beloved brother in law Fred …how can we find words to let you know how much you meant to us. Steady Freddie…we did not ever call you that, however, it is a ‘fitting’ word to describe you….always there, always kind, and knowing….we called on you so many times. You left so suddenly we hardly had a chance to blink…it was between you and Jesus so we will accept it eventually. For now we’re crying, we’re missing you so much ….hoping you will shine your quiet gentle light on us when we reach for you and your not there. Know that we will be looking out for “all” of your loved ones day or night.

Brian Drumm - September 14, 2023

Our neighborhood lost a very nice man! A family lost a great Dad a great Husband and a great Grandfather! Fred was like the Mayor of our street always looking out for us all! His lawns and gardens were pristine and he took a lot of pride in all he built! Why now you say we don’t have those answers! I can’t imagine the pain his family is feeling but they know one thing they have a lot of people there for them because Fred was a kind gentle soul who liked everyone ! If you liked the Leafs or Cougers you certainly were in his wheelhouse for sports! Now at night as we walk our dog the candle in his window glows brightly but his memory and hockey talks will last forever!! May prayers be with your family and may you rest in peace! Brian,Carol, Rebecca Kirsten Nathan and Bryn! Your neighbours forever!!
