Dear Friends,
It is with sadness that I write this note. Fred and you Dottie ministered to so many over the years. I remember when you all went to St Louis to United Methodist General Conference back in 1988.
Another fun time was when you went up to Indian Lake and Fred was riding the "ski Bob" and fell in the water ! Fred laughed after that. He was a fun man !
More importantly, Fred was a person of Faith ! He preached it and lived it !
My prayers are with you all. He was a Saint !
Blessings,
Rev. Rev Jon K Sayers

Aunt Dottie, I hope you are doing well. I'm not sure which emotion to express first. I was so sad to hear that Uncle Fred passed on, but at the same time I was so glad to hear that he had some time with his family by his side. It may sound strange, but knowing what family meant to Uncle Fred, I imagine he was the happiest man in the world to have that time with you and his children. I hope all of you can take comfort in that thought. Please let Fred, David, Linda and Peter know I'm thinking of them as well. Take care of yourself and God bless you.

Dear Fred Bracilano,
I have promised you in Riverside Hospital that I would tell your friends how we met. Although I don’t have time to talk at your memory and service day, Right now, I am going to share this story to your friends that they want to share with you.
Fred and I first met in Holiday Inn in summer time around year of 2002, because we were the swimming club members. We met almost three to four times a week but we were only just “say hello” but nothing to talk. One day, Fred was very friendly come to talk to me but I so nervous to replied him that because of my English communication skill is not such good, moreover, I did not know whether people understood me. Therefore, I did not want to talk. As a result, I did have a hard time to make friend. But, Fred so kind and very friendly came to me and encourages me to talk to him and he was very patient to listening what I said. After that, he would courteous point out my mistake and taught me how to do it right.
Fred is also a very good heart person, when I need to find a job; Fred helped me to consult my resume letter at once although he was busy. I have remembered that one time I was very disappointed to tell Fred that I did not get that job I just applied. Then, Fred drove me that company and asked the recruiter the reason why I could not been employed. The recruiter told Fred that because I did not provide the information about passed six months why did not show any working records. So, I learned a lesson from this case. Without Fred helped me to find the answer, I shall never know. From we don’t know each other until we become a good friend; Fred shared my happiness and my hard time. He is not only my good friend and also is my good teacher too. I respect him very much and very appreciated what he did to me.
Right now, Fred is in the heaven with God. He is staring his new life in heaven where we all will go there in a future. Again, Fred thank you very much your kindness and you are so friendly to me, I will not forget you. And you will always in my mind.

Dear Dottie,
This may be a second entry, for I must have pressed the wrong button and lost what I was sending. But I want you to know that I was shocked and saddened to learn of Fred's death. Emma Ruth and I highly respected him and we both have been blessed with your friendship. My prayers are with you and your family in the days ahead. So sorry that I will not be able to attend the service on Wednesday, but I will certainly be thinking of you.
With love and prayers, Noel.
