Thorold Legion Branch 17

The Branch is hosting a Celebration of Life for Fred “Freddy” Matheson to honor the life of our friend and Comrade on Sunday from 1 to 5 pm.

The family appreciates all the support from relatives, friends, and the community he loved. Everyone is welcome to attend and give our friend the send off that he so deserves.

If you are able to help with food there is a list posted at the branch. Please check the list and add your name if you will be providing any food.

We will also be collecting donations to support his family in their time of need to help them make proper arrangements for Freddy.

The Branch flag is flying at half mast in honour of Associate Member Fred Matheson.

It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that Associate member and long time friend Fred Matheson passed away suddenly last night.

Freddy was an advocate of Thorold Legion Minor Baseball for many years and served as president. He always had all the players best interests at heart.

As an honourary member of Protection Hose Company No. 1, Thorold’s Volunteers Firefighters, he was always around to lend a hand when needed.

Freddy volunteered with the Legion every week at Merrittville Speedway helping with the 50/50 draws.
He will be missed by so many people.

Rest in peace Comrade, Brother, and Friend!
