Mr. Smith,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW II. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!

I will miss Fred and all the times we
shared at Epoch. He could make me
laugh with that dry sense of humor. He always added something special to my day. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Auntie Eileen and family, Please accept my condolences. Uncle Fred was always wonderful to my children when we visited. He would take them to the park and sometimes out for breakfast. I will never forget those times. My kids remember him as the unclude who could loose a finger, (trick), always a commedian. He was a wonderful, funny, and awesome Uncle and like he told all of his neices "I was his favorite." He told that to all of us and always made us feel special. I loved him dearly and will miss him. Love, Carol and family
