Fred Thomas Bandemer

Dear Bandemer Family,

I posted this in our 'PRIVATE FORUM', and, as much as I try, I cannot put it any better. I found a writing from Weatherford which fits.

I have lost a dear friend. He was more than a friend, he was my Brother. Fred, and I, connected the very first time we met. We spent many a time talking on the phone, and tipping some Crown Royal and brew. He was a great man. I can still see him, in the midst of a Chicago winter, flagging down a cab, laughing at...

Dear Bandemer Family,
I didn't know Fred all that well. I only knew him as The Mighty Thor at Bushleague baseball. But what I do know is that he was a great guy who had a loving family. I'm glad I got to know him even just a little bit. My prayers to you.
A friend,
Jerry Bush

Dear Bandemer Family
Fred was not just a friend, he was my best friend, his loss has been very hard, I miss him dearly. My prayers to you all , especially his children who , I know he loved more then life itself. Fred took a piece of my heart with him to heaven.

Hi,
Only knew THOR through these BLB forums and was probably gonna get into a run-in with him sooner or later, only due to the fact that we shared a lot of the same opinions and sense of HAHA - my best wishes and condolences to his family and know that he was very well thought of here...........bubbles (Brett Kell, Windsor, Ontario, Canada)

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your loved one. One of my favorite baseball buddies.

Fred was blessed. All of us are blessed to have known him and his loss is deeply felt not only by his family but by us here in the BLB community where so many called him friend.

Dear Bandemer Family:

I am very sorry for the loss. Fred was a standup guy. He could joke around with you, make small talk, welcome you, help you out, and of course talk baseball, which is how I met him. He was someone who I had great respect for. Over the past three years I had gotten to know him, and had many conversations with him ranging from baseball, politics, current events, and just laid back conversation, and I just wanted to extend my sympathy to you. I know that none of us...

My deepest sympathy for your loss. May you please find comfort at Daniel 12:2: And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life ...

Dear Bandemer Family,

My deepest sympathies go out to you. I met Fred (AKA Thor) playing Bush League Baseball a few years ago. He was an amazing personality on the forums and a true part of our online community. He will be greatly missed. I only wish I had the opportunity to meet him in person. My heart goes out to all that had the opportunity to know him.
