I will always remember Fred. He was always so friendly and kind. We moved into the neighborhood and he and Marilyn were always so sweet to stop and talk to us. We have many dogs and we felt bad when the dogs barked so much. Fred would be outside in his yard doing work and I would walk by and he always yelled out Hi Kandy! He made my day happy as he had a huge smile on his face.
Marilyn we are thinking of you and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Mick, I remember all of our family get togethers fondly. You were so quick witted and funny. My favorite story was always the one you told about mom sticking a fork in your forehead because you wouldn't help with dishes. That made all of us laugh, just the way you told it.
You were a good man, honest, loyal and giving. I will miss you greatly. Love you always!

I always got a kick out of talking with Fred as he possessed a terrific sense of humor. Sedona has lost a great citizen & true patriot. I will miss him.
