Gary, Paula and Nancy, I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your Dad's passing. He was such a constant in out summer lives. He was always there to lend a helping hand, or to share a recipe. Lastly, but maybe most importantly, he was the grandfather that my children never had. They surely loved their "Grandpa Freddy" and my family and I will miss him very much.
