Condolences
I was so sorry to hear the news of Fred's passing. My deepest condolences to his family. I never met Fred in person, but he was a close and long time family friend of my aunt Roberta Little (nee Boyd). She and I were working on our family tree and when she told Fred about it, he asked if I might help with his. So, I did. We had many conversations through email, and together we figured out a lot of his family tree. I wish I could have done more.
Rest in Peace, Fred.

Our deepest sympathy to you all during this sad time. RIP Fred.
Dear Dianne, Suzanne, Terry, Penny and your families,
We are so sad to have learned of Fred's passing. The ties we shared through the years in the Kin Family remain and the sense of loss feels deep. How I loved taking the kids in to the store for new shoes or boots and joke with Fred as my three little ones terrorized the store! We were loyal customers at the Co-op and loved the all too infrequent times we bumped into each other in the years since. Fred was a great guy who will be greatly missed. We hold all of you close at this very sad time.
Dianne and Family,
Sorry to learn of Fred’s passing. I will always consider Fred my first track coach who was instrumental in my success.
David Lamont
Dear Dianne and family. I am so sorry to hear of cousin Fred’s passing. Since I was very little, he has always been the one to tease and make me smile. One of my fondest memories is being a junior bridesmaid at his wedding. Such a handsome groom with his beautiful bride.
Much love to all.

Dear Dianne and all your beautiful families
We are very sad that Fred has passed away, already walking past the house today and not seeing Fred sitting in his chair out on the porch is very sad.
Hopefully you and all your families will cherish the many many happy memories of Fred!

Diane and family,
I was so sad to hear about Fred. As I said previously, the only fella that ever got away with calling me Heffer. With a cheeky smile to boot. He was so lovely. I’m truly sorry. But that cheeky smile will be watching over you. Take care.

Our deepest condolences on hearing of Fred's passing. He was a sincere and honest gentleman helping out his community by being a volunteer driver for cancer patients. He was a good neighbour and we enjoyed the get-to-gethers full of laughter and fun when visiting with Fred and Dianne. We enjoyed the rides when Fred drove us to Anna Mae's for lunch. Cherish all the fond memories in your heart and find comfort knowing that Fred touched the lives of many others on this journey of life. We will miss you Fred.
