J. Frederic Jardine
1943-2019
JARDINE, JOHN FREDERIC (Fred) of Collingwood, Ontario died
suddenly on the morning of August 20, 2019 at their cottage in
Cavendish, PEI. He was the beloved husband of Janie (Thode) for 48
years as well as a proud and loving father of Jeff of Troy, Michigan
and John (Susan Varickanickal) of Toronto. Fred will be lovingly
remembered and sadly missed by his sisters, Margaret Romcke of
Charlottetown (Dr. Bob deceased), Isabel Bruce (Blair deceased) and
Rebecca Kalbfleisch (Dr. James deceased) both of Waterloo;
Janie’s siblings Margaret Tew (Bruce), Barbara Cufino
(Larry), Kathy Thode (Bill Millier) and Tom Thode; as well as his many
nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Fred was born in Summerside, PEI
in 1943. He was predeceased by his parents, Dr. Ingham and Earith
(Sinclair) Jardine, and Janie’s sister Judy Zerr (Tony
deceased).
Fred attended school in Kensington, PEI and St.
Dunstan’s University before graduating in 1965 from Mount
Allison University and then completing his teacher’s
certification in Ontario.
Fred briefly taught high school in South Porcupine and
Burlington, Ontario before settling in Collingwood where he met Janie
and raised their family. A Mathematics teacher at Collingwood
Collegiate Institute, Fred brought more than a lesson plan as he also
enjoyed coaching many sports. He also taught near Pasadena, California
for two years.
Fred played a lot of golf, hockey and other sports throughout
his life. He and Janie also cruised and raced their sailboat on
beautiful Georgian Bay. During retirement, he served for two years as
President of the Blue Mountain Golf & Country Club. They
enjoyed spending winters in Georgia and summers on Fred’s
beloved Island.
A memorial donation in honour of Fred can be made to the
charity of your choice.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date in
Collingwood, Ontario.
The arrangements were entrusted to the Hennessey Cutcliffe
Charlottetown Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made at
