Dear Mary Anne, Carm and families,

Sending all of you my sincerest condolences on the sudden and unexpected passing of Fred.

There are no words to ease the sorrow but I hope that knowing people share your grief will bring you comfort in the days ahead. 

Paola Piovesan and family

Hi Carmelina and Mary Ann, 
 I was at the virtual funeral & so appreciated I could be there in spirit with all of you. God bless all of you.

Fred was a well-respected member of the Vancouver salsa dance community. Dozens of salseros and bachateros will miss this gentleman who twirled the ladies around the dance floor with style and a sweet smile. He was a loved and reliable member of the World Dance Student Salsa Team and we were lucky to share the joy of dancing with him.

We are saddened and at a loss for words.  Our time spent together will always be remembered and cherished for the laughter and joy that we shared.  Our condolences to Carm, Mary Anne, Lila, his children Nicole, Michelle, Anthony, granddaughter Ayla and everyone who was lucky enough to have Fred as a friend in their lives.

Love always,

Mitsa Ouroumis and Fred Di Spirito

Our most sincere condolences to the entire Di Spirito family.  We were so saddened and shocked to hear of Fred's sudden passing.  We will miss running into him in the neighbourhood and catching up with him at family gatherings.
Fred gave abundantly to the community by sharing his passion for soccer with others, including our own two children for whom he was a respected coach and referee.
