Our hearts are heavy hearing about Fred's passing. We will miss catching up with him at our dinner parties with other friends from the era of State Mutual. He was such a loving and caring friend. He will be missed by all. Our condolences to Penny and the family and may you rest in peace that he is truly at peace.

What a loss to our little neighborhood. I will miss watching him always at work in his yard. Also appreciated our re-cycle bins always put up by our garage as he helped us in ways that he could. He was a special man & hope all your memories will comfort you as you miss him. I know I have many more Fred memories. He was such a great example to all.
