With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Freddy Jean Saman, born in Belgium on July 27, 1946, who passed away peacefully in June 10, 2026, surrounded by his family at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre in Cobourg.
Freddy was the beloved son of the late Albert and Angie Saman. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Margaret (McCavish) Saman, and their children: Debbie Tremblay, Freddy Jr. (Tracey), Steven (late Suzanne), Shawn (Sandy), and his predeceased girls, Shelli Ann and Rose.
He was a proud grandfather to Chadd, Kyle, Nicole, Corey, Jennifer, Kate, Alannah, Sophie, Emma, Kobe, and Dakota, and a cherished great-grandfather to Levi.
Freddy enjoyed fixing old cars and could often be found working on a project. He was always willing to lend a hand, share his knowledge, and help those around him. He will be remembered for his hardworking nature, generosity, and devotion to his family.
Freddy was a General Motors retiree 36 years.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Dr. Mule, and the staff at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre for their compassion, kindness, and exceptional care.
In keeping with Freddy’s wishes, there will be no visitation or Celebration of Life.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice, Cobourg, in Freddy’s memory.
Heartfelt condolences, Marg. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 💜Corena

Steve, Tracey, Corey and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you all at this difficult time.
Margaret, Shawn and family I am so sorry. Fred was one of those rare people who was genuinely kind to everyone he met. Funny, gentle, patient, and always willing to lend a hand, share a story, or teach something new. Some of my favorite memories involve watching him and Shawn tinker away in the garage, surrounded by tools, parts, and projects. His passion for cars was contagious, and I learned so much simply by being around him. He had a way of making people feel welcome, valued, and included. The world feels a little quieter knowing he's no longer in it, but I am grateful for the lessons, laughter, and kindness he shared so freely. My heart goes out to you both and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. He will be remembered fondly and missed deeply.
Dear Margie & family We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Fred. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Many memories from our car days. Drew & Rose Campbell
