SHORTREID 1918 - 2007 Andrew Frederick Shortreid passed away on March 17, 2007 in Kamloops, B.C., at 88 years of age. He survived by his son David (Rose) and daughter Pat (Lyle) Munro; grandchildren Marie (Bill) Houston, Terry Munro, John (Audrey) Shortreid, and Bonnie Shortreid; great grandchildren Kim and Trev Houston; sisters Mabel Priestly of Victoria, Olive Card of Minneapolis; brothers Doug of New Westminster and Frank (Jean) of Delta. Predeceased in 2006, by Babs, his wife of 64 years, and his grandson Dale Munro in 2001. Fred was born November 21, 1918 at Tranquille, B.C. to Andrew and Edith Shortreid. In 2002 Fred wrote an autobiography, Hard Work, Ingenuity and Fun, and the title pretty much explains how he lived his life. He loved his working and political life, which was full of challenges and changes. He worked his way over the years from the log booms on Vancouver Island to owning his own logging, sawmill, redi-mix and gravel businesses. Fred got great pleasure in being an Alderman in Smithers, B.C. for 1.5 years and then Mayor from 1976 - 81. During his time on Council he made many friends and felt honored to have met people like Grace McCarthy, Iona Campanolo and Sir Henry Bell-Irving among others. Fred served on many volunteer boards over the years and as a result, in 1990 was made Freeman of Smithers. Fred loved fishing, hunting, being a businessman, politician and most of all a family man. The Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 23, 2007 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, with Pastor Vern Frudd officiating. Donations in Fred's memory may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9, in lieu of flowers. Kamloops Funeral Home 285 Fortune Drive, 554-2577.
