Maureen and family, I know you will miss your father who fell asleep in the Lord. I pray that the knowledge that he is with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will give you greater comfort than any words I could think of.
Blessed Repose and Eternal Memory.
Rest in Peace and May Pepetual Light Shine Upon Him.

I would like to express my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your father. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
I never had the honor of meeting Fred in person but I feel that I knew him well. I knew that he was a decorated veteran of WWII, he was fiercely independent and continued to drive and go bowling well into his late 80s. I know that he had a rich religious conviction and a deep love of his family.
I know these things because Mike spoke of him often. Is there a better epitaph than to say...here was a man who had the love, respect and admiration of his family....
Please pass my deepest sympathies on to your family.
Sincerely, Keith Martin

Uncle Fred was a role model for what a loving husband, father, and uncle should be. I never heard him ever speak a harsh word. He was filled with the love, joy, and peace of His Savior Jesus Christ. He was a hero in so many ways. I know his attributes have been past on to the generation of family members that follow him. You ran your race well, Uncle Fred. Well done good and faithful servant. We'll miss you. Love, Jerry
