My deepest condolences to you Susanne, Mark, Marcus (Kelley). Uncle Fred was larger than life, and brought much joy to his family over the years. I have many treasured memories with Uncle Fred at family gatherings, World Cup Soccer Finals at Susanne and Mark's place, or even just playing cards at my Omi and Opa's in Markham. Uncle Fred always made us laugh, telling jokes and funny stories from over the years. My Opa often shares stories of him and Uncle Fred when they first moved to Canada, Uncle Fred having immigrated here first and writing to my Opa that is is 'really nice here in Canada', urging him to immigrate as well. He also tells stories of them getting married, having children, and all the joyous times after that as they built their lives here in Canada. Opa speaks of this time and his brother Uncle Fred very fondly. I will always cherish the memories of Uncle Fred, and I am sending the Douglas family lots of love.
