Fanella: I was sorry to hear of your husbands passing. I remember all the years we worked together at CFB switchboard and the stories you told me about your husband and kids. May all those memories fill you with love and laughter. I think of you often and wish you the best, always.

I was very sad to hear of Fred's passing. My father worked with Fred for many years in Drumheller. I have fond memories of this time.
My condolences to all his family.
