Not sure what to say?

Unfortunate I have not been to Tacoma very much in the past few years after moving to Anacortes. Fred was the best funeral director I have ever known. At just 12 I learned about death losing a cousin. Fred was so kind to me. He was involved in many of our families deaths and always was the best. Later in life I was a partner in a funeral business and he was such a mentor to me. I kept telling him I would come down some time and go to lunch. I am sorry that I had not come down. You will be...

So sorry to hear that Fred is gone. Mary and I knew Fred and Rina through the Sons of Italy and enjoyed many hours with them at meetings, dinners and conventions. Fred will be missed but he is once again with his Rina.

I sang with Fred at St. Martin's Men's Glee Club. He drove the bus on a tour through Washington and Idaho one year. Aside from a vocal asset to any group, Fred could always be depended on as we toured. R.I.P. Fred.

Sally & I have known Fred for many years. As retired morticians, we worked professionally with Fred and Rina. Since retiring to our beach home in Ocean Shores, we have not kept up with Fred. We certainly extend our expressions of sympathy to Fred's family.

I had the pleasure of working with Fred and Rina many years ago at the funeral home. I was very fond of both of them and I extend all my heart felt condolences to the family.

I did not know Fred through his business, but through my line of work, as one of our customers. I did not know him well, but even so, he ranks as one of the funniest people I have ever met. I had some very interesting serious conversations with him, but it's the ones when he was making me laugh out loud that I'll remember the longest. Some of my favorite work stories are from when I was working for Fred.

What an honor and privilege it is to have known you, Mr. Fred. All of you at Piper-Morley became my "new best friends" these past few years with funerals for my Mom, Brother and Brother-in-Law; never would have made it through without you guiding my steps. But not only just recently, you were there for my Dad's funeral many years ago. We talked every Sons of Italy meeting, what a kind, caring, compassionate Man. Last Christmas, at Mom's funeral, Mr. Fred talked about how much he missed...

Greg and family: Your Dad was so special to us and our family. When my sons were in choir your Dad shared his stories of his choir days with them. A true gentleman who will be missed. God bless him and Rina. We will be out of town and unable to attend his service but send our love and condolences.
