Fred's family thanks Doctors Montalbetti, Faddegon & Nikolakis for their excellent care and Ponderosa Lodge staff for their outstanding support of Fred and his family.

A private family service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Fred's name to Parkinson Society Canada would be appreciated.
