I am very sorry to hear about Fred's passing. We were good friends while serving in the Army 27th Engineers in Vietnam in 1966-67. Fred was a lot of fun and a good friend. My sympathy to his family and friends.

My heart is breaking for you guys. I know first hand what it feels like to lose someone so dear. He's resting peacefully in heaven with all the ones we've lost over the years including "Tank" my mother, Violet my grandmother, and my Aunt Vicki. If there's anything I can do to help please don't hesitate to ask. I love all you guys even though I've not seen you since I was a child but we're still family.
