HENWOOD, Frederick Murray

The family is heartbroken to announce the passing of Frederick Murray Henwood on August 8, 2024, in his 78th year.  He leaves behind his beloved wife, Darle, of fifty-eight years.  Predeceased by his eldest son, Michael, he is lovingly remembered by his son, Tony and Wife Sharmen, and daughter-in-law, Shelley. Cherished Poppa of his three grandchildren, Morgan Henwood, Kirie Poirier (Braden) and Braeden Henwood (Trynity) and his five great-grandchildren, Makayla, Maverick, and Miller Saunders, Charlotte “Charlie” Poirier, and Brantley Henwood.  Freddy will be greatly missed by his fur pals, Sadie and Natasha Romanov.

Fred was predeceased by his parents, Joe and Lillian Henwood, his siblings Joyce LeGrand, Floyd (Anne), his twin brother Rod (Sharon), and Mary (Joe).  He is survived by his sister, Brenda (Roger).

He will be missed by his brothers-and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and friends.

Fred was born in Sackville, NB on October 18, 1946 and grew up in Amherst, NS before bringing his young wife, Darle and son, Michael to Huntsville, ON during the summer of 1967 where he lived until 2022.  He was a longtime employee of Kimberly-Clark, active in the Huntsville Legion, and spent many hours at Huntsville Downs Golf Course playing and cutting grass.  In 2022, he moved to Penetanguishene ON to live with Tony and Sharmen so he could be closer to Darle who is living at Georgian Manor.  He spent the last two years, visiting Darle daily, spending time at both the Penetanguishene and Midland Legions.  He was on the go with his activities golfing, curling, playing cards, and pool.

In his words, “I have lived a good life.”

According to Fred’s wishes, there will be no service or celebration of life.

If desired, donations in Fred’s memory can be made to the Huntsville or Penetanguishene Legion.
