Notes - Obituary:It is with heavy hearts that the family of Frederick ‘Fred’ Alexander Welch of Glassville, NB share that his death occurred on Thursday, April 18, 2024 at the Upper River Valley Hospital in Waterville, NB.

Several years later, he furthered his education and earned his BEd at UNB. Fred began teaching at Carleton North Senior High School when it opened in 1977, and he continued teaching Math and Agricultural Science there until his retirement in 1995 after 34 years in education.Fred had a passion for agriculture and headed to the family farm almost daily after a full day of teaching. Originally a small mixed dairy farm owned by his parents, Fred transitioned the operation from dairy to black angus beef, buying his first registered angus cattle in 1972. Working on the farm gave Fred immense pleasure and, in his later years, he was proud that his son shared his love of farming by continuing the family farm operation.Fred loved to snowmobile, go fishing, play a round of golf and curl competitively when he wasn’t farming. Fred also had a passion for community involvement, serving as councillor and later as mayor of the Village of Florenceville from 1974 - 1995.
