Bolton, Frederick Gregson "Fred"
After a life well lived, Fred passed away at the Welland General Hospital on July 18th, 2019 at the age of 89. Predeceased by his first wife, Peggy, and his second wife, Helen. He will be missed by his children Craig (Colleen), Kim (Randy Jamieson), Scott (Dan Buchannon) and Stuart (Linda). Wonderful memories are left with grandchildren Jake (Julia), Lucas, Madison, Sydney, Maggie, Graeme, Abby and Matthew. Maverick will hear many stories of his great grandfather. He is survived by the members of the Chickie family.
Fred came to Canada at age 23 with little money and few friends. With a work ethic and determination he developed into a successful business and community leader. He worked hard to start the Fort Erie business, Peninsula Plastics, which his son, Craig, now runs.
Fred was a committed volunteer and gave his time to the Lions Club, and several organizations involved in helping those in need. He was passionate about many social/political issues and the family will miss the many animated discussions.
