20 Nov 2020It is with a sad and heavy heart that Fred has left this world. We thought the world of him and Alberta. He always had a smile for us and others. We’re happy that he has gone to meet his Lord and now has no more pain or misery. We will truly miss him as will many of his loved ones. Our deepest sympathy to all of his family.
