Fred Marlin

To the Marlin Family,
I know it's been hard to face the 1st year without Fred....
I'm sooooo glad I got to meet him and his family and VERY glad he and his family took to my Son Jason and allowed him to marry Lisa...
I know that you are all still hurting, but the Love of all your family, friends and all the cherished memories you have, will carry you through the hard times. I pray for all of you that the tears grow less and less and the laughter grows more and more...

It has been 11 years since I was accepted by you into your Family Fred, and I am so glad that you were there with open arms when I asked your daughter Tiffany's hand in marriage. You saw in me what others could not, you gave me direction, in my personal and business life. I respect you so much for all you have done not only for me, but everyone, including your family. You are by far one of the GREATEST men I was able to meet. You are missed so much, I miss watching you sing to Tiffany, I...

What I see, What I want, What I have What I dream what, speaks through my eye’s, What speaks before me in my life, What I say always lives, What does live and what does not always is alive, What I can do, what I can say lives before you and I each and every day. I miss and love you very much.

Love Your Granddaughter Dominique Bing

To my father-in-law. We had a lot of laughs together even though you might have thought I was a little crazy or different. The fact is I am crazy about being apart of the marlin family. I still remember to this day asking your permission to take your daughters hand in marriage. Phew I'm glad you said yes. I am very honored to have known you fred and to have been such a close part of your life. I miss you Fred & I know your up in the heavens making sure we are all taken care of down here. See...

This is for you mom. You wanted me to put my eulogy speech in here for you. I love you so here goes…

This is definitely the hardest thing I have done. I am not one for giving speeches and today, of all days, is no exception but I will do my best. When I was without a mother and father my dad and mom became my saviors but more then that they chose to be my parents. My dad since that time and through all the years, he has never failed to be that guiding hand that shoulder to cry on,...

I have many fond memories of Fred from back on the Upshur Road days and regret having lost touch with the Marlin family for so many years. Fair winds and following seas Sir!

Tiffany, Sue and family: Don and I are saddened to hear of Fred's passing. We have many good memories of Subic/SRF. May God be a comfort to all.

Lisa and family,it has taken up to this time to be able to let u truly know that u had a wonderful dad and husband. He welcomed our family as his own. The best was his stories that he always had to tell. I am honored that I was able to take care of him on his final day with us. I will carry with me always.

I can't believe it's been a year since you brightened the heavens with your arrival. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Sometimes it makes me smile, sometimes it makes me cry, sometimes both at the same time, but ALWAYS it reminds me of how much you loved me and how much I will always love you back! You are, by far, the greatest man I have ever known and I was so lucky to have you as my Dad! I will always try to live up to the expectations that you set for me and to be the kind of...
