I did not learn of Fred’s passing until this moment (May 26). My sincerest sympathies to the entire Gracey family who were our wonderful neighbours on Church Street for many years. We were all so jealous of the immaculate lawn Fred kept on your property. A very kind, gentle, fun man. May your happy family memories help you through the difficult journey of loss now before you.
Sincerely,
Gwen Bestard

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of another old friend and co-worker at "the old 'PL". When you worked a shift alongside Fred you knew there would be some very light moments. He was synonymous with humour.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Sincerely, John Mahoney

My condolences to Julia, and family. When I started at CFPL-TV, Fred was a lot of fun to work with, and taught us “young bucks” a lot about becoming TV broadcasters. Fred was a great mentor for us, and will always be fondly remembered. God’s speed.

I’m so sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. My condolences to his family. I worked with Fred at PL and often liked to tease him about the fact he started there the year I was born. He could take a good ribbing. He was a wonderful colleague with a great big heart. Rest in peace Fred.

Fred - or more affectionately known by a young Katie Ryan, as Mr. Gracey. Thank you for being such a kind, loving, and fun second father to me growing up! I could always count on a "hey there Kay-Day, what's going on?" or a "What are you two rug rats up to?" as you walked in to an elaborately adorned classroom aka Meg's bedroom complete with stuffies/dolls as students, and story books/mad math sheets strewn about, as we both attempted to team teach our very unruly class!
Mr. Gracey - you always made time to share your stories, ask what was going on in our lives, and make for us deliciously grilled BBQ fare. As we grew into young adults, you continued to make time to say hello as you were running errands around town. As, I welcomed my own children into this world, your eyes would light up as you shared, "did you know I knew your Mommy when she was a little squirt?" Thank you for always treating me like one of your own! Mr. Gracey you were one of a kind - your loss is a big one for a lot of people.
Julia - affectionaly, Mrs. Gracey, Dan, Julieann, Kelly and Meg and all your beautiful families - big love to you all as you remember a great man, partner, father, grandfather. May your memories bring a smile to your face, warmth to your heart, and peace to your soul. May your tears be a reminder of the great love you shared in this earthly life and the love you continue to share in this new way.
Mr. Gracey - give my boy a big squeeze for me, until we meet again. Please do share a few stories about his old Mom - and perhaps you can teach him how to swing a golf club. As much as you'll want him to cheer for the Habs with you, he may be tainted by Leaf Nation - I'll leave that one to you!
Rest In Peace.
Love,
Kay-Day aka Katie Ryan (Simons)
