Fred was born on February 19, 1922 in Coalhurst, AB (approximately seventeen kms west of Lethbridge). He was with the City of Calgary health department for thirty-seven years before he retired in 1981 as the Chief Health Inspector.

He was also a Director on the National Counsel for the War Amps over the past twenty-nine years. Fred enjoyed all activities, but excelled in golfing, curling, lawn bowling and pool. He had a great love of life and threw himself into everything with great enthusiasm. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of sixty years, Grace, and three sons: Michael, Peter, and Paul and their families; plus the many, many relatives and friends who already miss him.
