It is with regret that the passing of Fred Joyce is announced.

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Fred came to B.C. via Edmonton. Graduating from West Van High School in 1959, Fred initially went into banking. He met and married his first wife Betty when at the Castlegar branch of the Bank of Montreal. They had one son Steven. Opening his own business in Kamloops, FB Joyce Trucking, he ran a successful asphalt transport business until 1988 following Betty's death. Fred then moved into transportation of petroleum products for Chevron and West Can prior to retiring. Fred married Dorothy in 1991.

He will be sorely missed by Dorothy and his 4-legged buddies - Brandy, Missy, Abbie and PussPuss.

No service at Fred's request. If friends desire, there will be an Open House at Fred's home on Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. for a time of fellowship and memory sharing.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the SPCA in Fred's memory.
