James "Fred" Cottrill

Cheri, Patricia and Scott, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know what a big part of Patricias and Scotts lives Fred was. I just want you to know you are in my prayers.

Our condolences to the family. He was a good friend to me. He brought me presents when I was sick. A great man.

Dear Cherie and family,
Our sincere sympathy to everyone. I dont know what to say because there are no words to make it better. My prayer for everyone is that as the days continue you find peace and comfort from our Lord. When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I Psalm 61:2. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you! Dan & Joyce Ross

I am so sorry for your loss.
My path crossed with Freds 3 times as I recall.
For the 1st year I had my drivers license, I was one of Freds customers at Sabans Gas station in those days of full service and 35 cent per gallon of gas. In the mid to late 1980s, he laid the tile at our front door based on the recommendation to my husband from the business where we purchased the tile. So when Fred showed up, we realized our prior connection and shared our memories. But what was so special to me was when Fred recognized me on the river in the summer of 2017. He made a point to stop and talk with me and express his condolences to me and to state we will make sure your grass here is taken care of - dont worry about it.
I was so touched and so appreciated Cherie getting my attention that day. And of course, Fred and Kip did see to my grass. What a special person! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

May your grief be lessened by the love and support of friends and family.

Cherie I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Fred. I have known Fred for 44 yrs and remember his concerns and work for us in the company and the union work he did. Strikes were difficult but he lead us through them with confidence. He was a good friend and co-worker. He has fought the fight and now he is free from pain and this world. God bless him and your family. Over the sunset mountain, today he will softly go. Into the arms of Jesus, the one who loves his so. Peace.

Cherie. I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was a wonderful person. Sending prayers for healing and comfort in your time of sorry.
