Uncle Fred will be greatly missed. He was the patriarch of the Majaess Family and paved the way for all of us in Canada. Uncle Fred was a kind, generous, loving person and we always enjoyed listening to his stories and spending time with him. We will cherish all the memories we had with Uncle Fred, and his laughter, positivity and singing will forever remain in our hearts. 

Rest in peace Uncle Fred and may your memory be eternal. 

Love,
The Majaess Family in Victoria BC (Evangeline, Namat, Gabriella and Roberto)

All my good thoughts for the family and loved ones now he rests in peace with the Lord

Seeing Fred’s loving Obituary brought back a flood of memories for me of many decades past when he was just a young man who had just immigrated to Canada, and I was a small child!
      We lived just houses away from a branch of the Al- Molky family and my late father Robert Baker happened to be an Immigration Officer at Pier 21 in Halifax, he and my late mother Lily were invited to the Wedding Reception of Fred and Wadiah and brought my little sister and me along……….I still remember how exotic it all seemed and how exciting and happy the occasion was!
    Then followed years of a lovely relationship between our families, I remember Amine and how lovely he was, and lots of visits and meetings……..always warm and heartfelt ones……full of affection and good will. I can certainly testify that Fred was the kind and honest person you say he was…….he was indeed a “ Memorable” gentleman!
    My parents died in the late 60’s and by then everyone in my own family circle were married and on their own……..and contact dwindled as it does in Life…..BUT…..when I saw that dear face in the Obituary I felt so  sad about that and wanted to let you all know that I share in your sorrow and wish you comfort as you grieve his loss.
              With my sincere sympathy, 
                          “Penny” (Baker) Clark



Uncle Fred was always the rock in the family, we always looked up to him. He was someone we loved to spend time with and we always thought he would be here forever for us. He taught me that life will throw you punches but you always have to keep your head up, to look straight ahead and never look back. I always smile and reflect when I think about him, his fatherly smiles and hugs. Our family owe to Uncle Fred everything that we are today, his generous and unconditional love he gave us. 
Uncle Fred, I know you're still looking in front of you, I will miss listening to you, singing childhood melodies. With fondest love and memories now rest in peace.  Rima

My mother, Gertrude Shane, and I were clients for more than three decades of the wonderful and talented Salwa.

May the memories that you cherish provide peace and comfort during this difficult time. Heartfelt condolences to the family.

Sincerely,
Judith Shane

I remember Fred and his brother that operated their market on the corner of Iseville and Stanley  Streets in the North End of Halifax during the sixties. As a young girl they were probably the first people from outside of Canada that I had ever met.  We lived around the corner so I was often there running errands for my mother. I remember both gentlemen as being very kind and friendly and I remember Fred behind the meat counter always smiling. May he Rest In Peace.

My sincere Sympathy in your loss of Uncle Fred.  I have a very dear memory of Uncle Fred .  One Saturday evening , winter of 2011, dear Uncle Fred helped Salwa and I prepare something very special for my ailing Father.  It was 9:30 at night, and absolutely POURING rain.  Uncle Fred , already in his housecoat and slippers for the night, joined us  very cheerfully to help prepare  the Oxford Woollen Mill oak box that Dad was sentimentally buried in.  I so appreciated Uncle Fred’s help.  You will miss the Patriarch of the family but will share wonderful memories. Warmly, Elizabeth


 

Fred was a very kind man with a heart of gold ,I worked for him in 1969 and 1970 and never forgot how kind he and Amie was to me and great  guys to work for . RIP my friend .My Condolences to all the family.

Harold Conrad
