Almost a year has passed, Dad, and we still expect to be able to share stories with you or see your bright smile or hear you singing or think that we'll be able to turn to you for those words of help and advice that were always so comforting. You will always stay in our hearts...until we meet again. With love and a prayer.

Fred was a great friend of mine for almost 60 years. He officiated at my marriage. He and I shared Gilbert & Sullivan memories. I shall miss him.
