    Dolly and I send our sincere condolences to Fred’s friends and family. In 1958 Fred and I were working at RBC in Cranbrook. Accommodation was a small house (shack) that would be considered pretty rugged by today’s standards. What our meals lacked in variety were compensated for by quantity and it is a time filled with many happy memories. In the following years whenever we met our conversations would frequently involve a recollection of that time.

    Many fond memories of our times together.
