Fred passed away peacefully at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown, on the evening of Wednesday, July 29, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family and with his wife Shirley at his side, holding his hand.

 

Fred had a great love of the Island, its people and its history and was committed to its past, present and its future both in his personal and professional life. He was a gifted communicator, loved to write and was known for his ability to move a crowd through a speech – one he was asked to prepare or on the spot. These talents were backed by a vivid imagination and a creative analytical mind that lent weight to his enjoyment of a good evening of passionate debating or brilliant story telling often applying his gift as an embellisher of details! A lifelong aficionado of all things cars, boats and architecture, he kept on top of the latest trends, designs and innovations and was a devoted fan of the ultimate horse – the Ferrari. Fred’s optimism and his passion for life gave him the ability to turn the mundane into an adventure. Teaching the kids to mow the grass became the Stiga School of Driving; monitoring the height of the kids every summer became The Great Measuring, complete with official roles, titles and implements suitable to the positions. Fred turned problems to opportunity and sadness into a reflection of blessings in life. His optimism and positive outlook were infectious.

 

Fred’s faith formed the framework of his life and his vivid imagination and curiosity filled in the details. He was undaunted by the mysteries of faith and embedded Christian values into his daily living. Fred was deeply thoughtful about the direction of our community and its culture and was attentive to the difficulties and suffering of others. He believed in the potential of people and his communities and devoted himself to those around him and their futures, helping drive numerous ventures to the benefit of his community and neighbours. He believed in the potential of youth and in their futures and gave freely of his time and talents and was grateful for the opportunities to help.

 

Fred’s contributions to those around him were formerly recognised in 2011 when he was inducted into the Order of Canada. He was described as a pillar of the community in Prince Edward Island. He was a pivotal volunteer, fundraiser, philanthropist and go-to leader who has made lasting contributions in the areas of education, heritage, the arts and economic development. Fred was also active at the national level, sharing his business acumen with health care, banking and corporate institutions. desiderantes meliorem patraim “they desire a better country”.

 

Fred was born in his beloved community of Charlottetown, PEI, the second of three children to parents Norah Cecile “Cis” (née Shannon) of Georgetown, Guyana and the Honourable Frederick Walter Hyndman of Charlottetown. Fred is predeceased by nephew Matthew Hyndman, brother-in-law Reverend Canon James Ibbott and his parents Walter and Cis and father-in-law Benjamin Guy Gamester and mother-in-law Helen Gamester (née Acorn). Fred will be forever missed and loved by his wife of 60 years Shirley (née Gamester), his daughters Helen (Daren Singer) and Norah (Paul McNeill) and his three grandchildren Madeline Singer and Carmen and Sam McNeill. Fred will be missed by his sister Winifred “Nancy” Ibbott of Charlottetown and brother Dr. John “Joe” Hyndman (Debbi Sullivan) of Halifax. Fred is also survived by many nephews and nieces, extended family members and dear friends.

 

A funeral mass will be held at St. Peters Cathedral on Tuesday, August 4 at 11:00 a.m.

 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Provincial Integrated Palliative Care Program or St. Peters Cathedral. Arrangements entrusted to MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com

 

The Hyndman family would like to thank the staff of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Dr. Scott Campbell for their care and comfort during Fred’s final days. A warm thank you to the very special home care workers that provided comfort, care, companionship, cheer and great spirit to match Fred’s own bright outlook on the world during the past couple of years. Your professionalism and friendship mean so much to us all.

 

There is no tragedy in the end of a life well lived. Only gratitude
