I will treasure Fred in my heart always. He was so kind, so knowledgeable and so cheery and humble. I often think of the times he'd bring me a bowl of gaspacho...or chili on a cool afternoon when i was working outside. I always missed the neighborly conversations when he moved away. It has never been the same since. I will always hold close to my heart his precious friendship. I look so forward to seeing Fred again. My deepest condolences to Steve and Paula with lots of love.
