Dear Gaby and Family, We were so sorry to hear from you of Fred’s passing but are happy to have a sure knowledge that he is now safely with Heavenly Father and well again, free from all Earthly afflictions.
We are truly thankful for all the wonderful fun times we were able to have with Fred over many years and will miss him greatly. It was a privilege to have him as a friend. We can look forward to meeting again one day when Fred will be brighter
and younger than when we first met.
All our Love and heartfelt condolences,
Tony and Sybil Dockrill.
Dear Gaby, it is with great sadness that Ankie and I learned of Fred’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy..
My deepest condolences to Gaby, Robert, Birgit and Michael. I had the privilege to work with Alfred on a project from 1979 to 1886, namely the foundation of the Val Saint-Come ski centre. Alfred was a friend very appreciated.
Dear Gaby, Robert, Birgit and Michael. I was shocked to hear that Alfred passed away. My deepest condolences to all of you. Alfred and Gaby gave me a their friendship, a home and lots of help when we came to Canada.
Thank you Fred for being the most awesome Landlord that a lady could have. So honest and pure in all your dealings. Always gentle and kind…thank you Fred. I prayed that when your time came that the Lord Jesus would take you into His arms and carry you home where we will all meet together one day. The grass is like velvet and the children at play, soon we all shall be there, just time away. Blessings to all the family I pray and especially for Caby for this has been a very sad day. You will see him again…keep your heart close and joy within….love to all…Gwendolyn
My condolences to the Geismayr family.. I know this is many years late, but I just found out doing a google search. Fred sold us our first chairlift at Vallee Bleue in Quebec. It was a big step for us in improving the skiing experience. Fred and my dad, John, got along really well together and Fred was a very likeable guy. I’m saddened at the news and this note is to let you know that he is not forgotten here and I remember you all with wonderful memories of your time here in Quebec. I wish you all peace and comfort.
Regards,
Manfred Lingat
