May God grant you strength and comfort now and the days that follows

October 25, 2015

The window treatment industry has lost a special friend. Fred was what we all hope we can be: high integrity, fair to all, fun to be with and humbly successful. I, and many others, will miss Fred. Much love to Arlene, Sue and the rest of your wonderful family. Thank you Fred for the decades of fine example and friendship.
