It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Frederick “Fred” Strauss on 25 April 2021. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Sharon. Cherished father to Amanda (Patrick). Loving grandfather to Caralyn and Everly. He is survived by his sisters Kathy Lynch (Jim) and Margaret Humphrey (Jim) and predeceased by his father Ervin and his mother Jean. Fred will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews and friends.

We are saddened by the loss of our good friend and colleague for many years. We can recall so many great times we have shared with Fred over the years both at work and in leisure. I have fond memories of our golf trip to Myrtle Beach. We will all miss him.

Glad I got to meet cousin Fred as adults a few years ago at Uncle John's funeral. It was as if time hadn't passed. Our families didn't meet often, but when we did we had such fun. I wish we could all be together for you today, but please know that we are all thinking of you and send family love your way.
So sorry to the family for your loss. Fred was a great guy and a wonderful neighbour. He will be missed.
