Obituary of George Fry
With sad hearts we announce the peaceful death of George Frederick Fry of Bloomfield, NB, age 84, husband of the late Marigold (Mollie) Fry, which occurred on Saturday, September 20, 2014, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born on December 26, 1929 in Bromley, Kent, England, the son of the late George and Marjorie (Duffield) Fry.
George is survived by his two sons Jeremy Fry and his wife Donna of Bloomfield, NB, Nicholas Fry and his wife Susan of Westbank, BC; grandchildren Cassandra, Mitchell, James, Allison; and his great grandchildren.
A true champion to the arts and crafts community of NB, George’s devoted and passionate voice, insisting on the cultural importance and extolling the superior quality of arts and crafts in this province, is now silent…but his profuse contributions to that community will forever resonate. Beloved by his family and friends, he was a man of great compassion, intelligence, and artistic talent. His wise and eloquent words so filled with kindness, support, and understanding will be missed deeply. "Love...It really IS all that matters," were some of his final words; followed swiftly by a burst of his jovial laugh, "Sounds like a dreadful film cliché. But it’s true."
We have lost a genuinely wonderful human being who will be remembered as a shining example of what is good and right with humanity.
