Condolences
I am Luc's father and was often invited to parties or barbecues at Luc and Lu's. Fred was often there and I always gravitated to him and sat beside him. Two old guys who could always find something to talk about. I was a very pleasant time just having a drink together and talking about minor issues and watching everyone else. Thank you Fred for those times.
I remember Fred as a little boy when I used to go over to the Haavinds' house after school with my friend Elisabeth (Harmon) to watch TV. Elisabeth and I had become friends in the 5th grade and are still friends to this day even though we live two time zones apart. Liz's family and mine lived on the same street in Clarkson, Ontario. He was a delightful child and it is hard to think that he left us at such an early age. I also met him a few times as an adult, such as when I was a bridesmaid in his sister's wedding. He also helped me move back to the States with his truck in 1979. That was such a kind gesture, and I will always remember it. That was the last time I saw him, but I reconnected with Elisabeth years later, thanks to the Internet, and she told me about his life. I was so very sorry to hear about his illness and subsequent death. After all, he was Liz's "kid brother." This "kid" grew up to be such a tall man, so it's funny to think of him when I knew him best as a little boy. Deepest condolences to his family, and may he rest in peace.

A gentle giant who was always there, quietly loving and being loved. He will be sadly missed by so many. May you breath easier now, there in heaven. We will tuck Edie under our wing and love and protect her as you would. Rest peaceful Fred.
Fred was my husband of seven years prior to marrying Edie. I remember him as an easy going, friendly man - a gentle giant, good companion and caring Dad to Kris. He was taken far, far too soon. R.I.P., Fred.
Fred was such a kind soul, quiet, hardworking and loved to be surrounded by his family and friends. He adored his wife, Edie and his grand daughter, Jessica, and they’ d spend the weekends playing games and going to the park together. His gentle and kind demeanor shall not be forgotten and he will live on in all our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with mom, son Kris, and all of Fred’s family and friends in this time of grief. May he Rest In Peace.
Shannon & Dianna Girodat and family
