So sorry to hear of Fred's passing. My Mom & Dad (Clayton & Glenice Bubier) are in Florida and they called me because they just found out about Fred. I remember the fun times we had as a child at the lake with you, Fred & Aunt Vidie feeding the chipmunks. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Mert & Carol Buzzell
