Fred was an ardent fisherman and hunter, and after 33 years in the Victoria Fire Department, spent many long hours in his garden.

Shirley and Family
Gabriella and I want to offer our sincere condolences on the passing of Fred. He was one terrific guy, firefighter, father, hunter, stonemason, and much more. He will be missed.
Shirley and family, we just found out recently from Sharon that Fred had passed away. We haven’t seen either of you for years but we remember you both as being lovely people and we knew that Fred was a very dedicated husband, Father and Fireman. Unfortunately, many Firemen end up with COPD. We extend our condolences to all of you and pray that your memories will help sustain you through the difficult times ahead. Sincerely, Beth and Tom Pengelly
Dear Shirley and family,
How sad I was to hear about Fred’s passing. He was a very kind man and what a lovely couple you were… I am sure that you made him laugh on a daily basis, Shirley!
My thoughts are with you all.
