Fred John grew up enriched by his youth in Strathcona and nearby Chinatown.
His deep love for the tight-knit community of his childhood remained until the end of his life. In his adult years, Fred memorialized the homes of his friends who lived in Strathcona.
In the last year of his life, he donated his beautiful paintings of Strathcona homes to the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation. All proceeds of this collaboration will go towards the Chinatown Storytelling Centre.
