Auntie Irene, Wayne, Linda, Michael and Lorraine, I am sorry Steve and I couldn’t be with you today. Mom, Michael and Diane have conveyed what a beautiful service it was. We have many fond memories of Uncle Fred and in particular I have many pictures of your concrete drive being poured with my dad and Matthew on site to “supervise”. Probably around 1995. Also several of his wood carvings are still in the kids bedrooms. HIs memory will live on. Rest in peace Uncle Fred.
The service today was beautiful! We have so many fond memories of Uncle Fred, and he will be in our hearts forever.
We are deeply saddened by the loss that our dearest daughter-in-law, Lorraine, and the family have encountered. Although we have only met Mr Concessi few times, we know that he was a wonderful and outstanding man. Please accept our dearest sympathy.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Alfred. A life well lived. Active right up
to his last day. Hopefully, he can now arrange for one more victory for his
beloved Raptors. My condolences to the entire family.
To the Concessi family,
In this sorrowful time, we would like to extend to you our heartfelt condolences. May the soul of your dear husband/father/grandfather rest in peace. His presence will surely be missed by the lovely people who cared and loved him so deeply. May he now be your guardian Angel.
Genevieve, Albert, Maxime and Alexandre Malouf.
One of the loveliest neighbours growing up. “Mr. Concessi” always had a friendly hello and smile for us. He was a gentleman, always quiet (unlike the rest of the dads!) And, I recall a good sense of humour. Seeing he and my dad chatting over the fence was just part of the landscape!
My thoughts and prayers to you, Irene, and the family. I hope that warm memories will provide some comfort. May Fred find peace in God’s arms.
We extend our deepest sincere condolences to Steve, Linda, Mat, Chrissy and the Concessi Family. Our prayers will be with you all during this time of sorrow. Fred will remain alive in your hearts. God Bless Fred !
Linda & family –

I am so sorry to read of Alfred”s passing. Having worked with him I knew him as a smart caring human being with great love and great pride of his family. When I ran Toronto Bluejays bus trips from work in the early 90″s I could always count on him buy literally half of the tickets. The baseball trips were a family affair to Alfred. May God Bless.
our sympathy to Irene and family from Ida Grant and Josie Gasparri
