Special thanks go to Lorri Kozyra and partner Rick Rogozinski for always being there for support and help.
Fred was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and confidant to all those around him. Always helpful, he often went out of his way to support those around him. Conversations with Fred were light, friendly and chalk full of wisdom with a dash of humour. Fred’s memory will live forever within the many people that he touched throughout his life.
As per his wishes, there will not be any formal services. Cremation and interment is to be performed by Sunset Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to The Regional Cancer Centre or The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre would be appreciated.
