Fred was a member of the Cymric, Duval, Govan and Strasbourg United Churches, taking an active part. In Fred’s younger years he was 4H leader, baseball coach and helped with other community activities. He especially enjoyed being able to help friends and neighbors in any way he could. He and Joyce enjoyed many trips over the years, including the Maritimes, Alaska, three trips to Hawaii, cruises and many other US destinations. He enjoyed playing cards, bowling, dancing, golfing, and time spent at their cottage at Last Mountain Regional Park where they had many friends. Fred was very proud of his children, grand-children and great grandchildren and all their accomplishments. In 1992 Fred retired from farming but continued to live on the farm until he and Joyce moved to Centennial Manor in Strasbourg in 2007, where again he enjoyed more new friends and all that went with town and condo living. He enjoyed coffee row with friends most days, playing cards and even golfed this past summer.
