I just found out today about Fred. I had tried to reach him last year and each attempt came back to me. I loved working with Fred and getting to know each of you a little bit. May God Bless you all.

Fred will be missed by his cousins in Northern Maine. His last visit here was memorable. My father Maynard's idea of heaven was a lake with a good fishing hole. May Fred and all the sports men in the Lombard Family be together on that lake.
