Frederick » Fred » Leaver Obituary
It is with much sadness we share the loss of Fred who went peacefully into the arms of our Lord,
on Saturday December 30th 2023 at the age of 97.
He is survived by his loving wife Anita and daughter Nancy (Frank), brother Harold and sister Lorna. Loving Grandfather to Dean (Anne), Chris (Samina) and Laurie (Bill). Loving great grandfather to Tyler, Dylan, Myles, June and Sam. Brother- in- law to Rena and loving uncle of many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by daughters Betty and Christine, his mother Adelaide and father Daniel and 14 brothers and sisters.
Fred was born in the coal mining town of Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia in 1926. He traveled with his good friend Art Melanson to Milton at the age of 19 to start a new life. He found work at Milton Brick, and later at P.L. Robertson where he worked until his retirement. He had a love of hockey at that time and joined the Milton Merchants hockey team. He was one of the oldest surviving players and was honoured at the Brown Street arena memorial last summer. Fred loved to walk every day and was a familiar sight around Milton and made many friends on his daily walks. His greatest love of sports was golf. If he wasn’t playing golf he was practicing in the back yard or watching it on TV. He became a very good golfer over the years. He was a regular at Hornby golf course with his buddies Joe, Walter and Barry.
The family would like to express our gratitude to all the doctors and nurses at Milton District Hospital, regional north wing, for treating him with great caring and respect and to Bill Prisniak for all his support. His visits meant a lot to Fred when they would talk about memories of past events and family and friends.
