Fred Goodine
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Fred Goodine on Tuesday, August 30, at 2:00 a.m. He passed away from pneumonia. Fred was a former owner of Soo Van Storage. He was also a container driver for various members and a past Director of United Van Lines (Canada) Ltd. Fred had a real passion for moving. He would do anything necessary to make a move a success. Fred would often repair containers for members as he was travelling across the country to help keep our containers in good condition. He was always willing to lend a hand.
Fred will be greatly missed by all of those whose lives he touched. Our deepest sympathy goes to the Goodine family and friends during this difficult time.
