Not sure what to say?

Let's remember the good times with Fred and the Redcoats. They were many, reflecting his humor and vitality in special ways. A terrific guy!

My deepest sympathy to the family. I can remember many happy occasions at the Red Coat meetings with Fred and also Fred III. He was a great participant and competitor at golf.

We are so saddened to hear of Fred's passing. He was a really fine gentleman.
We send our warmest condolences to all of his family.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the family, especially Patty and Jane. (We knew them best). We used to take Jane to St. Andrew's on Sunday and bring her home afterwards, where Fred made a mean bloody Mary.

Our sincere condolences to Patty, Fred and Marty, Jane and all the grandchildren and their families. I remember with fondness the wonderful times my brothers and I had playing at Uncle Fred’s and Aunt Josephine’s house in Jacksonville with Freddie when we were growing up. The last time I saw Uncle Fred is when he came to Montreal with Patty on a cruise and we had lunch together.

Fred & Marty: May the Lord bring you comfort and strength during these difficult days. I know how much your Dad will be missed. We go back many years to our days at Plant High and hope my name is familiar to you. To my surprise I saw your Dad's notice in the Jacksonville paper. Gaye Golden Gray

The poster boy for the "Greatest Generation". Our sincere condolences.
