BOHUN, Fred
—
December 7, 1931 – July 6, 2021
The family of Fredrick Nicholas Bohun are saddened to announce his passing at 89 years in Kelowna, BC. He passed away peacefully with his daughters at his side. Born in Viceroy, SK, Fred grew up on the family farm with his siblings – Vera, Gladys, and Edward. As a young man he moved to Weyburn to pursue a career as a Psychiatric Nurse at the Weyburn Mental Hospital. Fred had many fond memories and friends from those days including his future wife, Gail of 43 years.
They later moved to Saskatoon, where Fred excelled as a Pharmaceutical Rep and later transferred to Edmonton where he finished his rewarding career with Wyeth Ltd.
Fred was a really fun guy and enjoyed many sports including golf. He was an avid fan of football and hockey.
His family will deeply miss him: daughters, Sandy Bohun and Renee Bohun (Terry Stewart); 5 grandchildren, Nicholas (Ashley) Humber, Wyatt Humber, Daniel, Amy, and Shane Stewart; and great-grandchildren, Jakob & Mira Humber.
He will also be dearly missed by his sister Vera Nickel; sister-in-law Deanna Bohun; niece Colleen Nickel; nephews Jeff Nickel and Jim Bohun; and many dear friends including Jim Humber, Ron Milani, and Roger Thibault.

My friendship with Fred goes back to 1961, when we both lived in Weyburn Sask. Our kids played together. Fred and I belonged to the same service club. Fred loved to golf, he was much better than me. We spent lots of cold morning together in the late fall and winter ” chasing the Canadian Geese” off of various golf clubs in the area. I remember selling his mother-in-laws “fancy model 5 “sweet sixteen Browning Shot Gun. Fred encouraged his Grandson Nick to take up “hunting”. Fred was an excellent card player, good memory. I enjoyed the hours we spent on the phone reviewing the stock market news. I will miss the daily phone calls.
