Read MoreWinny and Cheryl...so sorry to hear of Fred's passing but the one saving thought is knowing that he no longer suffers and is in a much better place. You know North Creek Dental always took delight in seeing Fred. We will miss his smile and wit but what an honor it was to have had him as a patient and friend! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear Busker family,
Fred was a good friend to my Dad, Bart Zandstra. I'm sure they are having a marvelous reunion in glory. Praise God that they both stood firm in their faith and left a legacy to family and friends. Our Christian sympathy to Winny and all the family--you are in our prayers. We know what it is to lose a beloved father.

I worked with Fred for years at Ameritech. I loved and respected the old guy, but I never told him that.
He was one of a kind.
