Hard to believe you're gone my dear friend... I only recently found out about Fred's passing and regret I missed paying tribute in person. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. I first met Fred in Toronto ( at least 40 years ago now ) and we became close friends. We owned a house in Brampton at a time he worked for Mack Trucks. He bought my share of the house while I settled in Toronto. The last time I saw him was this past October. He seemed pretty much the same old Fred and I had little intimation that he would pass on only a few months later. That made the news shocking and sadder...as he died too young. Over the years I got to meet both Digbys ( saw the second Digby the day Fred picked him up as a puppy ). Fred loved his dog. And of course whoever knew him knew well his great passion for tennis. Fred was honest, kind, considerate, generous, super-energetic and nearly always cheering and positive. He was religious and I've thought of him over the years as a man who was morally ambitious. He was one of a kind. I only wish he had met the woman he searched for for so long. I feel the loss of a true and loyal friend, and Fred, may you rest in peace.
