Fred passed away on September 17, 2023 at the age of 86.

 

He is survived by Helga, his wife of 65 years; daughter Lorraine Strom (Harold); sister Marion Novello (Tony); brother Hans; and several nieces and nephews.

He was born 1937 in Blasheim, Germany and moved with his family to Canada in 1956. From 1957 to 1989 he worked with SuperLite Electric and left there as a Plant Manager after closure of their manufacturing plant. Subsequently he worked for Chase SFS & MacDon Industries until early retirement in 1995.

We mourn for a man of a kind & gentle nature, a designer, inventor, builder and teacher at heart. Fred loved to golf and play Poker. 

You will be missed. 

His request to be cremated without a formal service will be honoured.
