It is with great sorrow that I inform you that Fred Werenich passed away suddenly last week.

Fred was one of the founding members of Battlegroup Toronto, and was integral to keeping the group going. He regularly hosted game days at his home in Oakville, ON, and helped to organize the group’s annual SFB tournament. Fred attended the Council of Five Nations convention in Schenectady, NY, several times, and I believe even dropped by Battlegroup Columbus for a game day a few years back.

His sudden passing has left many of us in shock. I had just spoken to him on Tuesday, and I only found out yesterday (Sunday) that he had passed away the following day (Wednesday).

Many of us are struggling to process this, in my case with great difficulty. I do not think I am the only one finding this hard to accept. If you are in the same boat, please reach out to a friend, family member, someone in this group, me, to share your grief. Sharing this burden is the only way to get through this.

At this time, I do not have any information regarding funeral arrangements. I will share this information once I become aware of it.

Fred was a great guy; he will be greatly missed.

Fred stopped by Battlegroup Columbus in 2023. We were hoping he'd stop by again. Very sad to learn he as passed.

My prayers and condolences.

It's a sad fact that as a group we are aging, with its attendant consequences. :(
