FERDINAND, Alfred (Freddie)
Alfred (Freddie) Ferdinand passed peacefully away at Rosefield Centre in Innisfail, Alberta, on Friday, March 15th, 2019 at the age of 78. Alfred was born in Montabaur, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1973 residing in the peaceful hamlet of Dickson, Alberta.
Leaving to mourn is his loving wife of 46 years, Eva; his beautiful daughter, Jennifer; sons, Thomas (Charlene) and Christopher (Vanessa); along with his grandchildren who were the light of his life, Aiden, Anna, and Abigail; sister, Helga (Norbert) and brothers, Horst (Monika) and Hans-Rainer.
To all who knew him, Freddie was extremely passionate and animated, particularly about all things German, but he was always proud to consider himself Canadian.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff of the Rosefield Centre who provided the greatest of compassion and care to our father in his final days before he succumbed to cancer. Cremation has already taken place and there will be a Celebration of Life to be held in Dickson, Alberta at the King of Kings Church Hall on Saturday, July 6th, 2019 from 2-4 pm. In keeping with Freddie's wish, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Dickson Store Museum Society would be appreciated. Donations may be forwarded to: Dickson Store Museum, Box 146, Spruce View, AB, T0M 1V0 or via e-transfer to dsmstreasure@gmail.com.
