As a Cautela, I have very, very fond memories of the Trello family. Throughout the years, I communicated mostly with Freddie and he was always so nice and cordial; a truly exceptional person. He was an institution in our community and we just want the whole family to know that we feel their loss immensely. We enjoyed seeing all the pictures at the funeral home. They brought back so many fond memories for us. God love you, pisano.

We are very sorry for your loss. Fred was quite a personality. When Fred walked into a room, everyone knew he was there - he said hello to everyone by name, always had a laugh, smile for everyone. He will truly be missed not just for the work he did as a representative but for the dynamic man that we were all lucky to have known.
With our sincere sympathy to the Trello family
