Dear Becky, Kristen, and Family,
I am saddened to learn of the passing of this fine Gentleman. I was privileged to meet him and visit with him on several occasions, including just a few weeks ago. He never failed to convey a warm and good-humored welcome. I enjoyed swapping "Dad jokes" with him, especially when seeing his serious listening face break into a broad grin and
twinkling eyes. He was ready, I know, and secure of his place in Heaven. He is at peace and will rest until we all show up and yell "SUPPLIES." His memory will live forever in our hearts.
Love, Fred.
Fred Leopold
