Fred had a BA degree and an Education Certificate from the University of Manitoba. He was a teacher of English at Red River Community College. After his early retirement, he ventured into Real Estate. Fred was very light-hearted, cheerful and had many friends.

Fred built his first house with the help of his wife Sharon Fenby. He was very handy with carpenter tools and carved small animals from wood. Fred is survived by his sister Doreen Rudan, husband John, and their children, John Jr., Tessa, Michael and wife Brenda and their children Megan, James and William Rudan, all in Ithaca, NY. His younger sister Janice Richardson resides in Winnipeg. He was close to his ex-wife Sharon Fenby who died in 2013. Fred had a very caring and close friend, David Nash, who was of great help to him for many years as his health deteriorated. A graveside service, officiated by Fr. Sean Cahill, will be held at the convenience of the family.
