Kenneth Parker Fryer

Ken was born in Acton on February 10, 1925 to Ethel and Alfred, living his entire life in Acton. The 1931 Census shows this family renting a home on Bower Ave with his father employed in the rolling room at Beardmore tannery. Ken served in the Air Force (Regular) in Canada during WW2.

He married Florence Salt (Veteran WW2) and they had one daughter. The 1953 Canada Voters List shows the couple living at 244 McDonald Blvd, Acton although they eventually moved to 270 Elmore Dr in Lakeview subdivision. In 1953 Fred was employed as a “wool sorter” presumably at the Wool Combing.

Ken was an avid golfer, gardener and an active member of St. Alban-the-Martyr Anglican Church Acton.

Fred died August 10, 2010 and is buried beside Florence at Fairview Cemetery, Acton.

Truly a Canadian Hero. His story lives on. Information taken from the Military Service Recognition Book, Ontario Command Vol 10 and Ancestry.ca
