Frederick married Beulah Seguin, that marriage later ended in divorce. Frederick was a skilled and dedicated self-employed landscaper for many years, building a reputation for his hard work and expertise. In addition to his independent work, he also shared his talents with Farrand's Flowers and the Augsbury family, where he contributed to their projects and helped enhance their outdoor spaces.
Frederick had a deep love for the outdoors, finding joy in a variety of activities. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and boating, as well as taking peaceful walks and scenic rides in his car. Above all, he especially loved the St. Lawrence River, where he spent many memorable moments enjoying the beauty of the water and the surrounding landscape. Being outside, surrounded by nature, was something he truly cherished.
