The laid-back yet energetic tones of Fred Latremouille were heard on Vancouver radio for half a century. The Nanaimo, B.C., native got his start in radio in 1961 doing news and hosting the morning show at CKYL Peace River, Alberta. He moved to the Vancouver market the next year at CJOR after he "basically badgered Vic Waters (the station manager) until he gave me a job."
Latremouille went on to become a mainstay in Vancouver radio with stops at CFUN-CKVN, CKGL-AM, KISS-FM (CKKS-FM) and Clear-FM (CKCL-FM). At the latter two stations, he was joined on air by his co-host Cathy Balduzzi, whom he met and co-hosted with at CFUN. They married in 1986. Latremouille also made his mark in television - he hosted the teen CBC-TV music show Let's Go in the '60s, along with several other CBC-TV productions, and also was the weatherman on BCTV. He also had a stint at CFAX Vancouver. Latremouille was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Broadcast Hall of Fame in 2007.
"Fred was, without a doubt, the best communicator this city has ever seen," weatherman and best friend Wayne Cox told the Vancouver Sun after Latremouille's death March 5, 2015 at the age of 69 in Scottsdale, Arizona. "He was fun, creative, smart, bright. He wasn't always a saint, but he always did it Fred's way. Working with Fred and Cathy were the best times I had in radio."
