From the obituary:
Born and raised in Switzerland, Fred lived a remarkable life filled with adventure. His journey took him to England, where he met the love of his life, Gwen. Together, they returned to Switzerland, where they welcomed their daughter, Yvonne, before eventually settling in Canada, where their son, Drew, was born. Fred went on to enjoy a successful career as a gemologist, a profession that took him around the world and deepened his lifelong love of travel.
Fred was known for his larger-than-life personality, unmistakable Swiss accent, quick wit, and cheeky sense of humour. He had a gift for making everyone feel welcome and bringing a smile to those around him. An avid traveller and devoted Chelsea Football Club supporter, Fred embraced life with enthusiasm. Retirement never slowed him down, as he remained physically active, participated in local clubs, and generously gave his time volunteering in the community.
Above all, Fred lived 95 wonderful years filled with adventure, laughter, friendship, and family. His was a life well lived and deeply loved, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of memories, stories, and traditions that will be cherished and passed down for generations to come.
