Fred became a dear friend back in the 1980’s when he lived in Phoenix. Please accept my deepest condolences to his entire family! May you rest in eternal peace Fred! You will be deeply missed my friend!
I didn’t know Freed very many years. We met through pool league as he was a valued member of our Buzz’s Tuesday nite team.
We also practiced regularly together. Our team is missing his presence already. Thank you for sharing him the time we had with him.
My journey with Fred began in the 70s when he was living with his sister Monica at that time. We lost touch over the years and then in 2016. We reconnected the last 10 years have been great specially seeing everybody in the Kammeyer family all these years. I will miss him very much. We condolences go out to Alberta and the rest of the family.
I worked with Fred in the paint shop at Waterloo Industries for a long time. We became good friends and I would loan him my small boat to go fishing. We also share the love of pool league. He was a nice guy and will be missed greatly. Thanks for your service to this country. He was a jack of all trades. RIP buddy. ðŸ˜
Sorry I can’t make it to the funeral as I am currently out of the country. But I will be thinking of his family at this time. My condolences
