He gave his time organizing Lions Club New Year's Eve celebrations, Miss Vancouver Chinatown Pageants, the 2001 Lions Club Spring Conference, and fundraising to improve healthcare in Vancouver.

An avid golfer, Fred enjoyed spending time on the course with friends and cherished ballroom dancing with his wife. He found immense joy in traveling to various destinations around the world. In his later years, he thrived on the time spent with his grandchildren, always ready to encourage, mentor, and share his wisdom.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 1:00 PM at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, followed by a burial and reception. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Fred’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.
