Frederick was born on July 13th, 1953. He was raised in Transcona on Melrose Ave where he made many long-term friendships and fond memories. He developed a love for carpentry and helped build several decks and fences in Transcona. He married Nancy Thoroski and enjoyed passing down his love of the outdoors and carpentry to his three children.

 

Fred also played in various sports leagues over the years including hockey with the Grinders and baseball on the team Freddie's Nightmare. He played shuffle board for many years as well as on the dart league Average Joe's. He was also an avid Toronto Maple Leaf’s Fan and a Green Bay Packers fanatic.

 

He worked at CNR from 1978-2011 where he was a carman. He truly enjoyed his work and was the only known employee to make their own hours.
