TEGG: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Fred Tegg Sr., on July 14, 2008 with his family by his side. Fred was predeceased by Margaret, his wife of fifty two years, his parents, and many brothers and sisters. He is survived by his daughter Cheryl and son-in-law Greg Thomson (Florida); son Fred (Brandon); Deborah Tegg (Brandon); and grandchildren Bridgette, Caitlyn, Brittany, Kelsey, Breigh-Anna, Jesse, and Brooke; by his always attentive niece and her husband, Sandra and Jim Robinson (Brandon); and two sisters, Virginia Haverstock (Brandon), and Vera Richardson (Abbotsford, BC). He will be incredibly missed by all. Fred was born on the North Hill on January 28, 1928, the youngest child of Victoria and Karl 'Charlie' Tegg. The Teggs were a large and close knit family and many of the Tegg children, Fred included, settled in close proximity of their parents' home. The sheer number of Teggs populating the North Hill led to its christening as 'Teggville'. Fred lived the entirety of his eighty years in Teggville, and was proud of his corner of Brandon. As a child he attended Central and Earl Haig schools, and worked with his father and his team of horses hauling ice for refrigeration. As a young man he began working for The Pioneer Fruit Company where, unbeknownst to him, his future bride, Margaret Angus, was also employed. Sometime later, the two were introduced by their lifelong friend Edna Burke, and on September 17, 1949 Fred and Margaret were wed. Fred worked for the Canadian Pacific Railroad from 1948 until 1958 when he left to join the Brandon City Police force. He was on the force for over thirty years, and spent the latter years of his career as a platoon sergeant. Fred loved his work and made many, many friends. In 1988, he received an Exemplary Service Medal from the Governor Central of Canada for thirty years of service in Canadian Law Enforcement. Fred enjoyed people, and police work provided a way for him to meet and help others. He was known to have a soft spot for anyone who needed guidance or a leg up. Fred spent countless hours working for the Police Association and its endeavors. Some of Fred's contributions included the building of a shooting range, representing the BCP on horseback throughout Manitoba, and the co-founding of the Blue and Gold Ball with his friend and co-worker Doug Meadows. Among his other pursuits, Fred entered into the 'farming' business with his brothers Carl and Kelly and nephew Gary. The farming provided Fred with lots of work, lots of fun, and many infamous 'Tegg Bros' stories. After his retirement from the BCP in 1988, Fred work for six years with Paul's Hauling, acting as a driver training and safety officer, instructing the new drivers on the handling of hazardous materials. Fred loved to dance - especially with Margaret, watch hockey, play cards with friends, and to socialize. He was perpetually working around the house or tinkering with machinery and always had some sort of project on the go. Fred was always up for a good joke, hopefully at another's expense, but was willing to offer himself up to liven the moment. He spent a large part of his retirement doting on his grandchildren; family was his center and he was integral in their lives. Laughter and fun were important to Fred, and has left us with countless memories that will forever bring a smile. Fred's memorial service was held at Central United Church on Friday July 18, 2008 with Rev Laird Russell-Yearwood officiating. Donations in memory of Fred can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society-Manitoba Division, 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg MB R3C 9Z9.
