Not sure what to say?

Another year has passed, and my heart still misses you. There was no other one like you, Fred. Love and miss you.

I met Fred when he first started working at the Portland Building department. One day he asked me to eat lunch with him at the Portland Rescue Mission, then he later asked me to join him on the PRM board of directors. The board approved my application and I served with Fred for about 10 years on the board. What a pleasure it was to work together with Fred on the Portland Rescue Mission board of directors.

I think of you often, Fred. Miss You! Love, Cathy and John

Shine bright from the Heaven's above. Always close to my heart. Miss you, Fred. Love, Cathyand John

I had the pleasure of working with Fred occasionally in the early years of my career at the City of Portland. Fred was always upbeat and encouraging. I have fond memories of him treating me to lunch at the Portland Rescue Mission. My condolences to Fred's family and friends.

Our condolences to his family. Fred was a creative, fun, loving and kind person. We have wonderful memories of him from our visits to see my in-laws at Edgewood. He was a loving husband and friend. We will always remember him fondly.

Fred holds a special place in my heart for being the funny, and kind man that he was. Fred befriended my mother, Agnes Petrusich. They competed in the Halloween costume contests and he caused her to laugh everyday. He helped her adapt to her changing health conditions with tips of wisdom and experience. I and my whole family are grateful to have known him and send our condolences to his family.

Mr. Lee was a very nice man who worked with my Dad, Hugh, at the Corps of Engineers for decades. He was a great friend to my Dad and our family always. Condolences and prayers to the Lee family at this sad time.

May God welcome you with open arms on the 7th floor
