Not sure what to say?

Condolences and my love to you from Ann Murphy Schafer.

Mary Kay, Therese, Larry, Mike and Eileen, I am so sad for you but not for Fred. Maybe he´s having lunch with JFK now! It was such an honor and a joy to care for him and to meet you all. You gave him the greatest gift you could. You kept him home where he wanted to be. Please know he´s one I will never forget. And I´ll never forget you all either. Take care of each other. With love, Anita RNm

My condolences to the Orth Family. I have many fond memories of Fred and the whole Orth family. I was unable to attend the service on Friday but you have been in my prayers.

Fred was my manager with American Family for a couple decades. He loved to talk about fast pitch softball and tank stories in the war. We had some great times together. He was a genuine friend and mentor to me. He will be missed greatly. My sympathies to Mary Catherine and the entire family. He sure loved all of us.

My deep sympathy to Mary Kay and her family. You all have been in my prayers for some time now. We shared the grace of care-giving at home. I have a special memory of Fred trying to give me a recipe for stuffing--he could not remember the ingredient parsley. By describing it I guessed it. Peace to all.

Fred was one of the first people I met when I started in the insurance industry. Fred was a class act and provided valuable support and wisdom many times at our lunches at Mulkey's . Prayers to the Mike and the entire family during this tough period of time.

I´m so sorry for your loss. I pray that wonderful memories help to comfort you and give you strength. My condolences to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace. God bless, Leesa Jansen

We are sorry to hear of your dads passing. Many good memories with your family!

I have fond memories of Fred living next to my house. My prayers go out to the family.
