I am so sorry I was not able to attend the funeral. I am Fred's 1st cousin and it has been several years since I last saw him or you boys. I know you probably don't remember me because you were little when I last saw you. I pray that God will wrap his arms around each of you as you deal with the loss of your dad.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Fred's passing. My childhood is full of loving fun memories made with him, Aunt Brenda, and all of you boys (now grown men). I will continue to remember him fondly, in his painter white work clothes and trusty station wagon. God bless you all!
