Sue, so sorry for your loss. Freddie was a kind, caring and gentle soul. I remember the trips to Florida with you, your Mom and Dad in their red Mercury station wagon. We had lots of fun at Lake George water skiing behind your Dad's boat. I used to kid you that if the boat sunk you should save the anchor. Going to miss you Cuz.

That is what I will remember,
Your bravery and your love
That caring wise and watchful eye
Which now peers at us from above
Through all the important moments
You made sure to be there
When I graduated. You went through all you could bear and I know deep inside you were not well.
All I can say is that, I wish I could have sometime with you but I am sure you are up there watching from above smiling down with us.
Your nephew Saad

Dear Susan, Frederkc, and Michael
I was a classmate at ND WH with Fred and remember him as quite a joyous character.
As another ND Brother falls this year, I am reminded of the words of Maya Angelou...
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
My sincerest sympathy

Dear Susan, Frederick and Michael,
My prayers and those of the ND community are with you at this very sad time. I started teaching here at ND in 1970 and I had Fred in my Spanish class. What I remember most was his smile and a very engaging personality. I'm deeply saddened to learn of his passing.
Sincerely,
Brother George Schmitz, CSC

Sue and family, we're so saddened to hear of Fred's passing. He was a good, kind man and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was very passionate about carrying on his Dad's legacy through American Roofing, something Uncle Stan would have been so proud of. Our condolences to you and your sons, Suzanne and Dave, and your entire family.
