I was so sorry to have just now learned of Fred’s passing. We worked together for several years at Rockcliffe. Fred was a good friend and parishener and we often had coffee together. He was a good man, and I often remember him while drinking my morning coffee! RIP Fred.
I had the pleasure of serving with Fred at NDHQ Rockcliffe for about 4 years. What I remember most about Fred is that he was such a good listener. He always had a cup of coffee in his hand, and I would tease him about his love for drinking cold coffee! It is no wonder that he was so loved by everyone.
I think fondly of Fred, every day, as I finish my cup of (cold) coffee. Rest In Peace Fred.
