Fred is survived by his loving wife Eleanor; sons, Barry (Diane) and Dennis (Wendy) grandchildren, Carrie, Colleen, Brian and Colin and great-granddaughter Ashley. He is survived also by his brothers, Charles and Raymond and sisters, Cecilia and Marjorie and nieces and nephews. Fred was born in Winnipeg and lived here all of his life. During the war, he served in the R.E.M.E. and following the war was a well-known gunsmith working at T. Eaton, S.I. Robinson and then at the Hudson Bay Co. until retirement in 1982. He worked for many years as a gunsmith from his home, serving the Winnipeg Police, R.C.M.P. and many outdoor enthusiasts. He was active in the Boy Scout movement for many years as a Scout Master, taking his troop on many camping trips and later became District Commissioner and then Area Commissioner. He lived the Boy Scout motto of doing a good turn for someone every day and was always the first to volunteer to help someone who needed assistance. As a hobby, he took pleasure in target shooting and over the years earned many badges including the top one of Master. He will be greatly missed by family and friends.
