Memories and Condolences
for Fred Segal

Not sure what to say?





I met Fred in 1990 when I became a factory Rep in the Electrical Business. I remember my very first meeting with him as he made me feel comfortable and assured me that he would help me if I ever needed his assistance. That meant alot to me that day. You are in my thoughts and prayers Jimmy during this difficult time.

i'm sad to hear of Fred's passing. In the 10 years that we've lived in his Weston neighborhood, he never failed to have a smile, a positive word and a wave whenever our paths crossed at the mailbox. What a kind man, I have missed him over these recent past months and am sorry for your loss.
