Dear Ken and Amy,

I only had a few conversations with Fred, but he could only be described as a kind and lovely man.

He helped me with reconnecting with part of my family. Fred was also kind and supportive to my mother, Muriel Yoffa. Our link is through Rose [your grandmother] to the Yoffa family and, in time I would like to talk with you about our mutual relatives.

Please know my heart goes out to you at this time of loss. I know that there really is very little anyone can say at a time like this. I can only offer you my sympathy and a wish I could offer you the warmth and kindness that Fred offered me so generously.

Ken and Amy,

I have the best of memories spending time with your family on Aspen Road playing in the back yard and eating over. I will always remember your Dad's incredible smile, positive attitude and passion for life. I am so fortunate to have visited Fred with my sons recently and hearing about life in Gloucester and playing baseball.

Best Wishes,

Cousin Steve, Liz, Andrew and Jason.

Fred was a friend of the family before I was even born...The Steins, Linsky's and Kaufman's celebrated new years eve together for many years as well as a life time of good memories. Fred and Arlene were some of the nicest people I knew and I was proud to have known them from my childhood into adult hood.
He will be remembered and missed.

Dear Ken and Amy,
My thoughts are with you both in this time of sadness of Fred's passing. His heart was as big as the universe. I am glad I got to dance with him in 2005 and to have him in my heart for the past 55 years and for the rest of my life.
Peace,
