Fred Blackmore, beloved husband of Arlene Blackmore, passed away peacefully at the Peter Lougheed Hospital on July 7, 2023 at the age of 75.
He was a loving Dad to his son Darrin and daughter-in-law Pam of Calgary. As their Poppy, he will also be greatly missed by his two grandchildren, Indigo and Joshua.
Fred will be remembered with love by his sisters Marina, Renee and Sharon of Cambridge, Ontario, his comrades from the Royal Canadian Legion and P.P.C.L.I., his longtime friends from CP Rail, and many, many beloved family and friends across the country from B.C. to Newfoundland.
Fred was well known for his quick wit and sense of humour, but most of all for his generosity. Fred served our country, fellow comrades, veterans and community for many years here and abroad in the Princess Patricia Light Infantry, as Sergeant at Arms, Royal Canadian Legion Branch #275, as a volunteer for the RCL Poppy Fund and countless community events.
A celebration of life will be held for Fred early September with details to be announced at later date.
Donations in honour of Fred can be made to The Royal Canadian Legion, Forest Lawn Branch #275, 755 40 Street SE, Calgary, AB T2A 5G3: https://www.legion.ca/ https://www.legion.ca
