Smith, Fred:
Frederick Arthur Roy Smith, age 95, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Monday August 5, 2024, at Innisfree House. Born on December 6, 1928, in Kitchener to Melvin and Meta Smith, Fred lived a life filled with love, joy, and vibrant memories.
Loving Dad of Rev. Shelley Smith, Kimberley Kusz (Ted Kusz), and Holley Smith. Loving partner of Ruby Dwyer.

Remembered by beloved friends Barbara Raddatz and Terry Rahn (Debbie Rahn). Predeceased by Joan Smith, and also by his brother John Smith.
Fred worked in the farm equipment industry. He later went on to work a dutiful career in the parts department at Uniroyal, until his retirement in the early 1990s. Fred truly lived life to the fullest, he loved to visit with friends and family – especially his grandkids. His wonderful stories are one of the many reasons he will be greatly missed.
Fred’s passions included gardening and dancing. He spent countless hours tending to his garden, which was a source of peace and pride. His garden, full of blooming flowers, was a reflection of his nurturing spirit and patience. He leaves behind a legacy of love and a garden full of beauty that will continue to bloom in his absence.
Fred lived a life full of warmth, love, and had an infectious zest for life, best exemplified by his beloved dancing shoes. Fred was a long time member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 50, where «Freddy» enjoyed singing and was often found on the dance floor. Though his dancing shoes may be set aside, the joy he spread through his dancing will forever resonate in our memories.
Fred was also an avid traveller who enjoyed recounting his many adventures. Many memories were made in Varney, Sauble Beach and cruising the Caribbean waters.
