After graduating from STI as a mechanic, he purchased Norms Gulf Service at Tuxford, SK and operated it through 1971-1977.

Fred married Joyce Bastien on August 9th, 1969 and welcomed two sons, Brandon and Donavon, into their lives. We can thank Fred for his sense of humour – he always made us laugh, always getting things done – grass did not grow under his feet, and for being a decent human being – having kind, compassionate and loving traits which he passed onto his sons. He loved his family, his brothers and sisters, and all his terrific nieces and nephews.
