Fred is survived by his sister, Dora Mae Parrott of St. John’s, Nfld. Predeceased by his sisters Florence MacDonald, Daisy Simpson and Mary Freeman Beverley. His awesome hugs will be missed by all. During his lifetime he worshipped Mother Nature and passed this passion on to his family and grandchildren. He was a hero to all of us.

After his World War II service, he worked for CN out of Moncton and a few years later joined the RCAF and spent 20 years moving his family from coast to coast in his beloved Canada. Retiring in 1973, he became an Islander when he moved his family to Prince Edward Island.
