My condolences to all of Fred’s family.
I am currently staying at St. Andrews Terrace’s where Fred lived he was my pal I am going to miss him terribly we had lots of conversations and laughs. My son is with WRPS and Fred would ask me when he could meet him, when they finally met it was heart warming to watch they talked and talked these two police officers from different generations it was so lovely.
I visited Fred yesterday in his room I told him it was an honour to be his friend and what a great man he was serving his country and this community for 30 years,I rubbed his arm and told him I loved him he responded with, “I love you too”.
I’m going to miss you my friend stay out of trouble up there xxx.
I will miss Fred’s visit to the Hespeler Heritage Centre! He was a good friend and we always had great conversations. R.I.P. Fred.

I remember Fred coming to talk to me about stolen drive in theater speakers I found in Schiedels woods. I was so scared, only 9 years old lol
I am a volunteer at St. Andrews Terrace where Fred was staying. He was an amazing man, with great stories to tell. He always insisted on a hug and kiss on the cheek whenever I would see him.
He will be missed by many.
