Not sure what to say?

Heartfelt condolences to Fred's wife and family. I served with Fred in Germany, and had the pleasure of reconnecting with him while he was here in Phoenix earlier this year. Fred was a great guy, his laughter was infectious and I'll remember him for that. God bless him, he was a true Patriot!

I am so sorry for your loss, this will be a hard road for you to walk down. Lean on God, friends and family and you will get through this. Keep him alive in your memories. Love you kids, I am here if you need a sounding board.

When I met you and Terry at a POW/MIA gathering I thought "These two are quite the comedic duo." But when it came to taking care of business for POW/MIA or the VFW you gave a commitment level many looked to as an example of how to get things done. Thank you for writing that blank check and for continuing to be a part of the veteran community. You will be missed my friend. Say hello to some of our friends that have gone before us. Semper Fi.

Terry and I extend our deepest condolences to Fred's entire family. Fred was one of a kind -- good natured, funny and very compassionate. We will miss him dearly.

What I wouldn't do right now to just have 1 more beer with you. To be able to do that stupid hulk hogan pose for you just to make you laugh. We have some great memories. I can't believe god called you home 3 weeks after mom. RIP Watch over all of us <3

Cousin Freddy, you will be missed. I remember when me and my younger brother Charlie would spend the Summer's at your house when we were younger. I remember the time when we were eating breakfast eggs one morning and you and Charlie put sugar in the salt shakers and I put that on my eggs and you two was laughing so hard. Aunt Ginger said eat your eggs Jodie. Great memories. You liked to play pranks. Always made me laugh.

I was fortunate to see my cousin again and shared great memories. You will be miss dearly.

I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Daniel - we are so sorry for your loss! We are thinking of you and will keep you and your family in our thoughts! We love you kiddo! Let us know if you need anything!
