We have such great memories of Fred, cooking with him at events at St. Peter's and in all the support he provided for us at Peter Pan Nursery School. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him but we know he is with Sally. Rest in peace.

Fred was one of life's unforgettable characters. We had the pleasure of sitting with him at the December American Legion's Christmas party. He was always upbeat. We had no idea he was ill. May he rest in peace and he will be missed by all, especially his St. Peter's family.
