We are all so sorry to hear about Fred. Our family has so many happy memories of his hospitality. While visiting you at your summer house we have always enjoyed our lunch on the deck and our times on the beach. As we would say good-by for another year he would ask us if we would like to pick out a pot. I will always remember how Jessicas' eyes lit up when she was asked to pick out her favorite piece of pottery. We now have a great collection of both moonstones from "Judys' Beach" and Freds' pottery. We will always remember Fred with great fondness and will miss him.

With all our love,
Barbara, Frank, Kyle and Jessica Butler

My deepest condolences to the whole family. Fred was like my second dad. So many dinners and good memories at the Becker house hold. Fred always treated me with love and kindness. Truly a wonderful loving man. He will be missed by many. ~Joline (Frechette) Wolf

.......I can't begin to tell you how saddened we are to hear of Freds' passing . I will always smile when I think of him and his wry sense of humor , can see him on the deck in the sunshine with the dartboard on wall ,cocktail in hand and a pretzel dip for our snack before having a Lobster supper . Love you and wish that I could ease your pain..... Colleen and Anthony
