Hello. My name is Lorianne Frelly. I am his grand daughter. I loved my grandpa very much!!!!!!!!!! I inherited many traits from him. We both love meat, and he loved to hear me play cello. He would always tell me to keep it up. "That sounded real good." He loved his family and cared for them. He had an amazing laugh and had a great love of baseball! I will miss him, and I'm sure many others will too! I love you Grandpa!!!!!!!! Love, Lorianne

Steve, Ed and Bob, We are very sorry for the loss of your Dad.
Whenever I think of your parents I can't help but smile. I have so many wonderful memories of our families getting together, like the time when we all went to the Rose Bowl Parade in 1964.
I love the picture on this guest book. It is beautiful. It is difficult to write something about a family member I love so much.
Maryann, Tim & family

I have very fond memories of your Dad and your Mom, and the times our families spent together. I will cherish those memories forever (especially the glow ball games and the long good-byes at your parents' front door!).
