Born September 29, 1935, in Prescott, to the late George and Agnes Brouse, Fred was an only child.  He was raised on a dairy farm at Iroquois where he attended public and high school. 

Fred graduated from Ryerson University in Toronto in 1959, and went to work for Automatic Electric in Brockville starting in 1961. At Automatic Electric, he was shop foreman for 33 years before retiring. 

In 1959, Fred met Carole Caloren, and five years later they were married in the Presbyterian Church in Iroquois. Fred and Carole would have celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary this September 5, 2012.  

Fred and Carole loved people. 

Fred and his father were great carpenters and together they built boats that Fred would race.  Fred raced hydroplane boats  across Canada and the United States.  He was Canadian Champ for seven years and  was inducted into the Hall of  Fame for Hydroplane racing in 1989.  

After racing, Fred decided to slow it down. He purchased a cruiser,  and he and Carole travelled far and wide creating great memories of the river.

Fred leaves to mourn his wife of 48 years, Carole Brouse and his mother-in-law Donalda Banford. He was dear brother-in-law to Marilyn and Neil Coir of Canton, N.Y., and David Barton and the late Judy Barton of Sorrento, BC.
