Mont, Frederick Irving Jr., September 2, 1957 – October 2, 2016. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved partner, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, nephew and uncle Fred Mont. Born and raised in Truro, where he raised his three children, Fred was a son of the late Irving and Cora (MacLean) Mont. For many years, Fred delivered newspapers for the Chronicle Herald and the Truro Daily News in the surrounding areas west and north of Truro. He was so dedicated to his job he would go out in any weather to make sure his customers always had their papers. Fred was an avid fisherman. He loved working in his garden, and doing projects around the house. He loved to cook and experiment with new recipes and ingredients. Fred was a huge fan of baseball and hockey. He was a loyal fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Fred was very fond of playing pranks on those around him whenever he had the chance. Fred leaves a legacy of loyalty, love, laughter, and a void that can never be filled. He was well known by many and had an open heart to all.
Fred is survived by his partner Kindalee Carter; children, Krista Mont (Bill Higgins), Kimberly Fowler (Jason Fowler), David Mont (Stephanie Mitchell); grandchildren, Kayla, Wyatt, William, James, Nicholas, Emily, Gage, Christine, Madison, Riley, Aaron; great-grandchildren Ryder and Alex; brothers Robert (Barb), Kenneth (Shawna), John; sister Bonnie Mont (Curtis); many nieces and nephews; great-nieces and great-nephews.
