Passed away unexpectedly on Monday January 10, 2022 at the age of 60 years.

Fred worked at Colt Canada for 22 years as a CNC Machine Operator. In his free time, he loved spending time with his best buddies, (canine) Ripley & Wallace, and his family. He kept busy with the never ending TO-DO list that Luanne happily provided. Although quite a lot of time was spent finding ways to avoid that list. He loved to travel to warm destinations, especially aboard a cruise ship. An avid history and war buff, Fred loved a good argument or debate, especially if he won it.

Beloved husband and best friend of Luanne, married for over 33 years ( nee Harvey). Cherished and loving father of Jorden & Jamie. Headstrong and determined, Fred taught his daughters to persevere and stand for their own beliefs. TO-DO lists and wishes of his daughters were always priorities for Fred, sorry Mom.

Predeceased by his parents, Fred and Waltraud (nee Huber).

Cremation will take place. A private family gathering will be held.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Ontario or the OSPCA as expressions of sympathy.
