Just read this over on the WW2f site that Fred has passed away. How sad. http://www.ww2f.com/topic/58678-fred-wilson-rip/
WILSON, FREDERICK T.L May 1952 – April 2016 With love, memories, laughter and tears we have gathered to say an initial goodbye to our brother Fred. A passionate hang-glider, fisherman, camper, and lover of the outdoors, he has soared his final thermal, left his earthly challenges and is enjoying views of the world from new heights. Born in Grande Prairie Alberta, raised predominantly in Coldstream BC, Fred was pre-deceased by his parents Don Wilson (1953), Agnes Wilson / Sovereign (2002), and Art Sovereign (2002). He is survived by siblings Adriel, Owen, Murray and Sheila, nieces Nicole and Karly, nephew Malcolm, Aunts M. Lowe, F. Rankin, their children and their families. The family wishes to express their gratitude to Dr. Larrie Mandreck for his care. We extend heart felt thanks to all Fred’s friends for their companionships over the years. A gathering will be held at a later date. Please check Fred’s FaceBook page for notification. Good stories, condolences welcome to Adriel at classbooks41@shaw.ca In Fred’s memory we invite you to find vistas to enjoy, and think of him as you watch birds or pilots enjoying their flights. Be grateful for what you have… Fred was very passionate about raising funds for the community. If you wish to make a donation in his name; we suggest the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan; Dr. Arthur Sovereign Memorial Fund (Learning Disabilities Foundation) and/or the Agnes Sovereign Memorial Fund (The People Place).
