Becky and family, words cannot express my sympathy for all of you. Fred was blessed to have such a loving wife and children that he adored so much. I feel honored to have known him all these years and to be able to call him my friend. He was probably one of the best friends a person could have. We know he will be greatly missed but we also know that he will be waiting with a smile and probably a joke when we arrive to meet him in heaven. May god bless you all and give you comfort and peace in this time.
