It is always sad to lose your father. As you know we have shared this experience almost as you did. I hope this gives you a chance to ponder on how important each families life is, as well as how each family
needs to keep its nucleus. Always use your power to keep families togeather as it seems yours is. So others can have memories as I hope you share with your family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest condolences to you Michelle and Fred, and your families. The bond between our families began 65 years ago with friendship, trust, and loyalty between our fathers. Another chapter and era closes. Fred was a mentor and role model - his unlimited love, kindness, caring, gentleness, and charisma was my unattainable goal. Always exuding eagerness to learn how I was and what I was doing. His zest for life, knowledge and love for his family was unending. Fred is now with his lovely lady Anne once again. I will continue to cherish my memories of them as I view their posted photos daily. Our world has changed with the loss of Fred and Anne - and life must go on.

My deepest sympathy to the Cappetta and Dicanio families on the death of Frederick. He was a beautiful person both in soul and spirit. Anyone who came into contact with him was truly blest.

Fred handled all the arrangements when my father (Fred G. Cappetta) died in 1988. He had handled all the funeral arrangements for every Cappetta I know. He was a truly compassionate man and a very faithful Catholic. I have fond memories of his wife Ann as well.

I want to also extend sympathy and prayers on behalf of my Mother, Marjorie E. Cappetta.

May the angels lead thee into paradise and may Our Blessed Mother Mary Immaculate and Saint Peter, and all the saints greet thee upon thy arrival into Heaven.

Requiescat in pace Frederick!
