In loving memory of a wonderful person...even though I (Kathy)only met Fred twice~ he made me feel so comfortable as a guest in his home. I felt as if I'd known him all my life! He was great company and a wonderful cook! You could tell he loved his wife, children and grandchildren as he talked of them proudly! We will miss him...
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you, Aunt Marion and family. We love you all...
