TRIBUTE TO FRED STEVENS
We knew Fred for about 27 years and we got together most often socially to celebrate somebodies birthday, anniversary, or other such function. He generally had a quick mind and witty sense of humour and an uncanny ability to come up with the word that everyone was looking for.
He was always most competitive when we played some board game or recreational sport like curling, golf, fishing, or croquette. I remember Fred for his avid participation in life, for whatever he did he gave his all. He was a kind and generous host of countless social gatherings and dinner parties, spurred on by his lovely wife and life companion, Rose.
We have fond memories of being with them at the beach for picnics and water skiing off their boat. Fred was especially fond of getting rid of those riding the tube. He was always up for camping, summer theatre, and many other get-togethers. Sometimes we would travel to another city for cultural and recreational events. When it came to travelling, there was none other that we know that have done more world travelling than Fred and Rose. They took risks and brought back great stories. The time they had together and the places they went were the envy of us all. As it turns out, they were very wise to have done it while they could, a lesson to be learned for those left behind.
I remember Fred as being the Patriarch of our social group, him being the oldest and wisest. The last 2-3 years, however, due to illness Fred went downhill quickly. Fred left us with decades of fond and fun memories, and we will always miss the " Leader of the Pack ". Condolences to Rose, and the Family.
