Barb and family,
I know it's been a lot of years since we have seen you, Fred and the kids.
I was very sad to see that Fred has passed away.
So many years through out the years we have talked about you and the kids to our kids.
May God grant Fred eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon him

Dear Fred,
I am so sorry I couldn't see more of you and Barb over the past few years. I often thought about all the fun we had on New Year's Eve and parties and get togethers. I hope you're resting comfortably now and forever. Everyone that knew you loved you.
Love, Fay

My sympathy to the entire family. We were friends @ Parkland HS. Memories of working on the Datsun come flooding back. And the day you told me it was history. And just hanging out. Playing frisbee in the Lehigh Parkway, and just plain fun times. And some of the double dates we tried... You and your family are in my prayers. "Jack"

Barb and family,
I had the pleasure of knowing your father/husband for about 3 years.
We would call him Superman while he was fixing something or riding his mower. That was his joy ....
He was truly lucky to have Barb by his side everyday .....that's LOVE
I will keep you in my prayers
Love Yvonne ❤

My lovely sweet genius father was so loved by so many. There is a daddy shaped hole in my soul. I have been so blessed to have had a dad who taught me do much and loved us unconditionally. He was always making us laugh and putting us to work. lol. I love you so much! Goodbye daddy. I hope you can breath and eat. Heaven just got a comedian, Jesus is laughing with my silly wonderful daddy.
