Marianna, I only met you once when Fred brought you over to introduce you about 15 years ago. I was working on a racing motorcycle in the shed at my home on Park Aly in Odessa, and Fred just popped in as he often did. I missed his passing and have just moved back into that property in Odessa after 15 years away and just wanted to share how I miss seeing him on his old case backhoe riding down the street to the neighborhood just to stop in or talk about something he was fixing or working on. We did road crossings on Mechanic Street and Diemler Street before all of the newer homes were built for the electric and phone lines (on the down low, lol) I sure do miss him. Not many like him. Sorry for the decade and a half late note of condolences.
