Fred Howse September 16, 1965 - June 22, 2025

Fred was a very kind hearted man. He loved helping others more than anything. If Fred had something that someone needed, he made sure they had it. If he wasn’t in the woods working, you could find Fred down to the beach in his happy place. He loved to share his space with family and friends while laughing and carrying on. Fred had the most contagious laugh. He was loved by many and will truly be missed.

    Janet , Matt, Lucas and Howse family , so sorry to hear about Fred. I still can’t believe it. Fred was one of the best. Always a smile on his face . The last time I saw Fred was on Saturday afternoon with Murray . By chance, we had stopped down to see Fred at the wharf. We helped him put some electrical wire in place for a light on his new wharf . After we finished we had a good chat and a few laughs, not knowing it would be the last time we’d spend with him. The last words he said to me when we were leaving was “take care of yourself”.
    Rest in peace, my friend.
