So sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. I worked with Fred on many occasions over the years and he always inspired me. He was a the epitome of professionalism, whether in uniform or as a NAVCAN manager. He was a true leader and a good friend.
Heartfelt condolences to Judy, Jamie, Jenna and families.
RIP Fred. You will be remembered!

I had the distinct pleasure of having Fred as an instructor during my ATC training. Fred was always cool as a cucumber and a great teacher who inspired many who had the chance to know him. My sincere condolences to his family. RIP

I first met Fred when picking up his daughter Preeyati Jenna to go on a trip. I was struck by his kindness and caring. I later often met him at the Blossom restaurant. He had a quiet pleasant demeanor and friendly and helpful manner and a good sense of humour. I never met him again after he became sick. I know he couldn’t have had a more caring wife and daughter. I am sad he has passed but believe he is now in a better place.
My love and prayers to the family

Fred was a true mentor and gentleman for the years that I worked for him. Kind and humourous he was the best boss I ever had with an incredible memory of files and events I had long forgotten but had a subtle way to make you think that you had not forgotten. I will miss his smile. My deepest condolences to Fred's family.
During my time at NAV Canada, Fred was always known as a true gentleman with a kind smile and who never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was truly one of a kind and I always enjoyed our conversations. I want to pass on my deep condolences to Fred’s family. Richard
