Left to grieve are his siblings Brent (Karen), Edward (Joanne), Phyllis (Norman Hurdal), Nony (Dave Bell), Arlene (Ken Munnoch), plus many nieces and nephews. Fred was born and raised on the farm Gilhaga and has stayed there his entire life. While always a farmer, he had also worked at the Arborg Creamery as an engineer until its closing. He also spent a few winters up north on the diamond drills and clearing bush. Fred was a 4H club member, leader and project judge for the Arborg Dairy Calf Club. For the past 20 years, Fred has enjoyed seeing the farm business increase alongside his younger brother Brent. Fred was a true friend and neighbor, always willing to lend a helping hand to others. He will be greatly missed by not only his family but his close friends that spent many hours around his kitchen table.
