revrnd Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Some of you may remember the late OC member 'Fred Quimby' that reported on the Canarvon area. I never met him even though we exchanged a few PMs over the years about things in that area. I also had no idea what the basis for his nickname was. Then the otehr week, someone sent me this video: Imagine my surprise when I saw the producer's name LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he got separated next (remember him selling his ex wife snowmobile, 600 etec gsx) He kept his 1200 though. Next thing I know he died, how sad is that. I never met him either, since he was always working close to GTA when I was up there. Whole process killed him. He wasn’t that old either, maybe 46. I was shocked when I found out his real name was Samuel and not Fred, when I read about it on news.

Canuck Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I remember his posts - one of the best oc.com contributors to date. His reports drew me to the Carnarvon area to ride. 'Fred Quimby', producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
