Fred, age 93, passed away peacefully with his loving family at his side on Sunday, March 6, 2016, in the palliative care unit of the Glace Bay Hospital.

Fred was a long time employee of Devco, working in #11, 1B and retired from #26, in 1977. He was a true outdoorsman, he loved the sport of fly fishing, and he was a licensed guide on the Margaree River for sport fisherman; he will be remembered and missed by many of them throughout North America. He also enjoyed tying flies, hunting and his times spent as a coach for minor hockey and as a leader with Scouts Canada. He loved hockey, and to say he was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan would be a great understatement. Fred also enjoyed his conversations with all of his friends and family, regarding his life stories of times fishing, hunting and about sports, especially his Maple Leafs. But his fondest conversations were always with or about his best and closest friend, Wayne Boland.
