Dearest Alverta, My heart goes out to you. It seems only yesterday I received emails from the two of you. Thursday I made a dry run to find the funeral home so I could drive at night to the wake. I failed the test but I was sure Fred knew I was searching. Guests arrive on Friday, but my prayers are with you on this day. Al and Fred are clapping each other on the back and reminiscing. Love Jeanne Turala

I will miss hearing his voice on the radio talking with Daddy in the car and I will miss seeing him on the rare occasion I am at lunch bunch with my parents. My life has been made richer by knowing him! Please know that we are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I will miss Fred so much; he was always kind and helpful to me.... my chihuahuas and casita travel trailer. I'm still in shock as I just spoke to him this week about the trailer and about ham radio classes. He always kept our block informed and safe.
