PARADISE                                                                               In Memory of
                                                                                                                     Frederick “ Fritz” Garrick
I gazed in awe; blue bolts of power
strive upwards to the heavens                                                                  Born
Unassuming their journey endless,                                                             September 15, 1924
onward to infinity                                                                                        Sioux Lookout, Ontario
My inner being exulted,
I felt that I too was with them                                                                  Passed Away
Dauntless I am                                                                                             May 25, 2010
as I leave earth behind                                                                                Sioux Lookout, Ontario
Upwards forever upward I strive
to overtake one more star                                                                         Funeral Service 
Is there no end to beginning,                                                                       Monday May 31, 2010 at 11:00 am
a thought follows is God’s home nearby                                                      Hudson Community Church 
                                                                                                                      Hudson, Ontario 
As I traverse the universe,
I wander shall it be a blessing or my plight                                              Officiant 
I was uncaring, the solitude                                                                         Pastor John Coulombe
the sanctity of it all 
This was truly peace,                                                                                 Interment
contentment in her kindest form                                                                 Evergreen Cemetery, Hudson Ontario
No warmth no cold, pain
and sorrow behind                                                                   Visitation will be held at the Hudson Community Church
My soul I feel it, for the first time,                                          on May 31, 2010 at 10:00 am until the time of service at 11:00 am.
oh the soothing of it all                                                           If friends so desire, donations may be made to the
The stars and spheres are immobile                                       Northern Cancer Research Foundation through the Sioux Lookout
only I shall move this night                                                     Funeral Home, Box 1449, Sioux Lookout Ontario P8T 1B9

Darkness prevails and
yet yonder a light.
I move closer, closer toward the light
that seems to beckon me on
I look back over my shoulder;
I (saw) seen naught
I enter the tunnel of light and lay down
My journey over, I cannot and will not ever go back.
 
 

Lac Seul Floating Lodges would like to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Fritz Garrick. Fritz was one of our guides for the past 30 years and he will be dearly missed.

Born on Birch Island, Fritz grew up on Lac Seul.  He worked as a bush cutter and commerical fisherman. He was a self educated man and as many would agree, he was an expert on history and baseball statistics, especially anything to do with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Fritz has touched the hearts of many and will be remembered by all who knew him. If you would like us to forward your expressions of sympathy to Fritz's family, please email them to us at info@lacseulfloatinglodges.com and we will gladly pass them on.
