I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Fred's passing. I have memories of the house on Goguac Lake . I always thought he was so tall when I was a little girl. I know dad wishes he were here to say goodbye. It affected him a great deal with losing both a sister and a brother is such a short time. The Dull's are a great family and I have always been proud to be one. I know he lived a good life and that will be of comfort in the memories. I am Nelsons daughter, (brother Nelson, sister cathy) living in Dowagiac. Thinking of all of you . Hi to all the cousins out there.

Sweet and loveable even a bit ornery at times. That's what was so great about Uncle Fred!! I am so very grateful for the last visit I had with him and the Dull clan in May 2008. Mom (Josephine) had a very nice visit and was also able to see Aunt Bev as well. I will always cherish my memories of him. May he be at peace. My deepest sympathy to all family members near and far. Your neice, Jan (Cartledge)
