FRED WAS THE BEST LAWYER A PERSON COULD EVER ASK FOR. HE DID SERVICES FOR ME THAT MOST LAWYERS WOULDN'T EVEN THINK OF DOING FOR THEIR CLIENTS. I WILL SORELY MISS FRED AND HIS GOOD COUNSEL.

I was shocked to have learned just yesterday about Fred's passing. My dad, Paul Engler, and Fred shared a great passion for fishing and I have fond memories of the many trips we took. Those times with Fred & his wonderful family truly enriched my life and I know my dad's as well.

It is a tragedy on such a phenomial scale that the world is no longer priviliged to be blessed with the presence of such a great man.May the paths of you & your family be blessed.

Dear Jane,

I was very saddened to recently learn about the death of Fred. I am thinking kind thoughts about you and your family.

I made a true friend of Fred during our two trips fishing on the Amazon in Brazil. I will miss his jokes on the internet

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I would like to send my condolences to the Sweeney family. Mr. Sweeney was a teacher who stood out at Libbey High School. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Class of 1980

I was very shocked to hear of Mr. Sweeney's passing. As a former student, (class of '79) I had always hoped to one day meet him again. Of all my teachers at Libbey, he is the one who made learning the most interesting. Deepest sympathies to his family; he was truly one of a kind.

My wife and myself send our most heartfelt condolences to the Sweeney family. Chris we have a good one. Stay strong.

My condolences to Jane, Chris, Tim, and the rest of the Sweeney family. I cannot express in words the deep sense of loss we are all feeling. I know that without Fred's guidance, help and friendship I would not be where I am today. From now on, every June our firm will celebrate Fred's birthday by closing our office and taking our staff fishing in remembrance of Fred. I know Fred would approve.

our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Husband & father was a very good Man.

Fred was a wonderful customer of mine and today our special was in honor of Fred - soup, salad and a bottled drink - just like Fred ordered every time he came in. I will miss his smile and his sense of humor and his love of crossword puzzles. Everyone at the Salad Galley Downtown sends their deepest sympathy to his family and devoted friends.

I would like to send my condolences to the Sweeney family. As a client for the last 12 years, Fred always treated me as a friend. He has done so much for me and I will greatly miss sharing fishing & travel stories with this great man. God Bless you and your family.

All of the things that everyone here has said are also true for me. was My Science teacher at Libbey High School, Attorney, Friend,and I was glad to be a part of his life...I was blessed. It is so very sad that we all lost Fred. However, I am glad that I helped bring happiness to him...My Dog was the mother of his 2 English Springers Buddy and Holly. Fred loved his Wife, Family, Friends, Vacations,,,and his dogs!!
Rest In Peace Mr Sweeney, (as I never called him Fred to his face either) if anyone needed to rest it would be YOU! Thanks for being a part of my life for over 30 years,and you will not be forgotten ever.

Chris and the Sweeney family

Very sorry about your father, the thoughts and prayers of Tricia and I are with you. I can still see Fred in the stands at our ONU j.v. games along with the ten people in attendance.

To the Sweeney Family,
Mr. Sweeney was my teacher at Libby High School in the late 60's, he was a great man and very well respected. I actually babysat Chris when he was 8 mos. old. Mr. Sweeney will be missed dearly, it's been a long time since I graduated but when I think back to my high school days he is the first teacher to come to mind. My sympathies to the family, take care.

I would like to send my condolences and share my thoughts. I was a student of Fred's at Libbey HS. His excellence in teaching (human physiology) gave me a great knowledge base for my training as a paramedic. I was later a client of his (just house closings and such). He was very proud of his sons, and would always have something to brag about them every time I saw him. Each time I stopped in his office, as we both loved photography, he would pull out a new photo album to share with me. His photos are excellent. It is unfortunate for me that our contacts have been few, but with every one, he would take the time to share a new photograph, or a story. Fred was a very strong, positive influence on my life. He will be missed.

Libbey High School Class of 1976

To the family, my sincere regrets. I am so sorry to hear. Mr. Sweeney was my high school science teacher. He motivated me to learn and I enjoyed his class immensely.

fred was a great person and very helpful to my family. he will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family. fred will always be in my heart.

To the Sweeney family,
Was shocked to hear of Fred's passing from Miriam. I talked to Fred at the Southview's alumni basketball games this past year and he seemed very happy. He helped me in a divorce a while back and got me through a pretty rough time. I enjoyed talking basketball with him especilly after the Northview games that Tim played in. We then had some fun playing ball at a Sylvania Church. Tim, Chris and Fred were quite a team in three on three. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by a lot of people. Richard Timm

Chris, Jackie and children,
Please accept my sincere sympathies on the passing of your Father & Grandfather. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you during this most difficult time. Love to each and everyone of you. I know how hard this time is for you. May GOD bless you and heal you in the days to come.
Most Sincerely,

TO THE FAMILY OF MR.SWEENEY ,
WE SEND OUR HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES FOR SUCH A GREAT LOSS TO US ALL.
MR. SWEENEY NOT ONLY WAS MY TRACK COACH AS WELL AS TEACHER AT LIBBEY HE ALSO WAS MY FRIEND AND ATTORNEY WHO ALWAYS HAD MY BACK (SMILE).HE HAS BEEN A GREAT HELP TO ME AS MY LAWYER AND NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT HE ALWAYS MADE HIS SELF AVAILABLE EVEN AT LAST MINUTE NOTICE WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT THERE DUE TO TRAVEL DISTANCE I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO FEEL COMFORT DUE TO THE FACT MR. SWEENEY WAS THERE. I AM GOING TO MISS HIM VERY MUCH (HE WAS ONE OF A KIND ).

To Fred's Family: What a loss to the legal community, his clients, and to those who were fortunate enough to know him. I met him when I was deputy in charge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. He brought honor to the legal profession, but more than that, Fred was a gentleman who lived life to the fullest and loved his family. I remember how he loved to fish and scuba dive. He will truly be missed by all whose lives he touched. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

i'm gonna miss u mr. sweeney, i called my brother (fred davis)/ mom and told them the bad news- we are gonna miss you... your in a better place now.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Sweeney Family;
We have known Fred for over 20 years. There has never been a time that he did not have time for us if we needed his help or advice. He was truly one of a kind. His stories made you feel like you were old friends from day one. We were just stunned to hear of his passing. He will be sadly missed.
He left a legacy that will be difficult for anyone to fill. May all of our furbies welcome him home. His compassion was endless and He is loved.

The world has lost a truly good man. He was my teacher, coach and even though I was just his student he was a friend. I'm glad that he found time for the things he loved to do. While his presence in my life was brief, I'm sure the Lord has approved the lasting impact that he made in my life.

As I have read through all the beautiful entries in this guest book, I want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words. I have been Fred's secretary for 27 years and as good as he was to you as a teacher, lawyer, mentor or friend, he was all that to me. I could never have asked for a better boss or friend. It's true - he never looked down on anyone and always tried to see the good in all. He was also the most generous man I will ever meet in my life. He loved his fishing and his trips but the most important thing in his life was his family. A greater man there will never be. My heartfelt condolences and sympathies go out to his family who have suffered the greatest loss of all. May we all be as blessed as Fred to have so many people love us. I truly believe in my heart that he is in heaven fishing right now. That makes my heart smile.

Linda Boyle

Fred will always remain very much alive in the memories of those who loved, respected, and treasured him. May the love of family and friends comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead.

My prayers go out to you and your family. Mr.Sweeney was my teacher at Libbey High School. He was a wonderful person . He has touched so many lives and his memories will last forever.

Chris, Jackie, Jack, Anika, & Lily,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your father and grandfather. Our prayers are with you.

My condolences to the Sweeney family. I met Fred when we were both teaching at Libbey High School. I taught English and Fred's love was biology. In addition, I was the cheerleader coach when he was the basketball coach. That was many pounds ago!!!
Fred left teaching to become an attorney, and a few years later I did the same thing. He loved people and served them well in both of his professions. He will be missed.

Diane Youngston

I wish to express my sympathies to Fred's family. He was everything that they said. Kind, caring and I suppose a man doesn't like to be called a sweetheart - but he was. I will miss that big Fred Sweeney voice and the little stories of his grandchildren. How he loved his family! You were blessed to have him as was he to have you.
Sincere condolences,

Mr Sweeney was my Teacher at Libbey High School and my Lawyer. He was a wonderful and tremendously man. In high school I learn from him how important it is to always have high academic goals. Also to be a honorable adult. He was the Basketball Coach and I was a Cheerleader. He would always tell us if we would win or lose a basketball game "Libbey High School" was still the best high school. In my adult life he was there for me as an amazing Lawyer. I could call him at his office or at his home. He would always return my calls. He was there for me 100%. He was a very kind man. I have so much respect for him. I graduate from Libbey in 1973. Whenever I would address him in person or on the phone after all these years I would still address him as " Mr Sweeney". Mr Sweeney was a gift from God. He help so many people and so many people love him. I was bless to have him in my life. I will always remember "Mr Sweeney" in my heart. My prayers are with his family.

Dear Sweeney family,
We are so sorry to hear of your great loss. Fred was "one of the guys" and will be missed, especially at our Sunday night basketball games. He was always there to make us laugh and break the tension. What a great guy!

Our prayers are with you.

Brian and Suzie Miller

MR. SWEENEY,

YOU WERE THE MOST COMPASSIONATE AND KINDEST PERSON'S I EVER ENCOUNTERED IN MY LIFE. I WILL TRULY MISS YOU. MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HURT AND PAIN BUT I AM ALSO AT PEACE KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOW FLYING WITH THE ANGELS.

Fred was always a very friendly guy, with humor! I was sorry to see his picture in the paper today, it seemed like a few days ago I had seen him in court, might have been last month. I always use to joke with him that all his clients were inocent, he would joke back and say, sure you don't think I would represent a guilty man. I heard other Police Officers speak kindly about him today and he will be missed!

My deepest sympathy regarding Fred's passing. He will never be forgotten and will be truely missed.

To the entire Sweeney Family, we were so sorry to hear about your loss. Our hearts go out to you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We really miss you!

Good Bye Mr.Sweeney.:( My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are a great man. Thank you for all of those late night phone calls that you always accepted just to answer my questions. You always listened and I'll never forget that. Thank you. You will be missed.

Unbeleivable...Fred Sweeney was one of a kind. Very generous with his time and fishing stories. Recently he was telling me of his trip this pass year where the fishes were practacally jumping in the boat. Fred will be sorely missed. Our Prayers are with you and you family. God bless

My husband and I have known Mr. Sweeney since my Libbey High School years 1971-1975. He was my teacher and my husbands attorney. He just recently helped us with a legal matter and made us feel comfortable with every stage of the process, as always. May his family find peace in his honor of being a truely wonderful man.

We are so sorry for your loss, Fred was a very caring and funny man. We enjoyed hearing his stories of his travels and the sharing of his pictures, he will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with you.

My condolences to the family. My family has known Fred for several years. My son Larry, had him as a teacher at Libbey and they formed a friendship. They fished together some, but did not see each other as much as Larry would have liked. His life took him away from this area. Fred was an inspiration and a mentor and a friend to him. He is devastated at the loss of a treasured friend as are we all.

Our condolences to The Sweeney Family as our hearts and prayers go out to you.

Jane, Chris, Tim & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad I got the chance to meet Fred and will always get a laugh thinking about him on the "party barge" in Austin. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

FRED IS AN AWESOME GUY AND A GREAT
FRIEND. HE WILL BE MISSED DEARLY.

To the Sweeney Family, we wish to extend our depeest sympathy and most sincere regret at the passing of Fred, we were clients for many years and feel his loss greatly.

Respectfully,

Ethel Stamper & Family

I had the good fortune to work with Fred for many years through my association with the court system. He was the kindest and most helpful of all the legal professionals I dealt with and never talked down to his clients or to the court employees. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

I have just got to know Fred as he represented me in my divorce. He was truley a great and kind person. My heart goes out to your whole family God Bless.

May God comfort each and everyone through this time of sorrow. I know Mr. Sweeny will be missed by all. My prayers and love go out to each and every one of you. Love, Jan/"Jannie"

I would like to send my condolences to Fred's family. I spoke with Fred Wednesday night to gain some of his legal knowledge. I am at the beginning stages of law school. He freely and openly gave me his opinion just to help me get a good grade on my midterm paper. He was also my attorney. I will miss his jokes, his laughter. He was definitely one of a kind.To his wife Jane and family stay strong through these tough times. God bless you.

FRED- YOU WERE A GREAT ATTORNEY! I JUST TALKED TO YOU ON EASTER SUNDAY AND NOW YOU'RE GONE - IT ALMOST SEEMS UNREAL... THANK YOU FOR BEING A CARING PERSON - YOU WILL BE MISSED!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
