Frederic COLES Obituary



FREDERIC CHARLES COLES (FEBRUARY 16, 1944 MAY 1, 2008 ) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, mentor, friend, son and brother, Frederic Charles Coles, on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the age of 64 years after a courageous battle with cancer. Fred spent 36 years as a Petroleum Engineer in the Calgary Oil and Gas Industry significantly contributing to the development of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. and to the growth of several Junior Oil and Gas Corporations, Trusts, and Capital Corporations through his contributions as a member of their Boards of Directors. Fred has touched many individuals through his endless ability to give of himself, a trait that will be sorely missed by so many. Besides his friend Joyce McKinney, Fred is survived by children, Warren (Nicole Liboiron-Coles) and Karin (Stephen Kelba); his grandchildren, Richard Kelba, Alexander Kelba, Jackson Coles and Rhianna Kelba. Fred is also survived by his mother Marjorie, brother Ron, sister Shirley Penner and former wife Sharon Thomas. In 1974, Fred was predeceased by his father, Charles Louis Coles. Over the past eleven years Fred worked tirelessly as the chair and cochair of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre Annual Charity Golf Classic and he would like to thank all of the dedicated staff and doctors at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for their commitment and devotion. Fred also made significant efforts towards the Save The Family Foundation of Arizona over the past five years. The family would also like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre for their care and compassion over the past eleven years. A Celebration of Fred's Life will be held in the Chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home on Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made in Fred's name directly to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre (1331 - 29 Street NW, Calgary, AB, T2N 4N2).
