I met fred when I was curly strawberry blonde toddler. To me, Fred was the "fix-it-fairy". When our house needed fixing, he was right there with his ladder. He could fix anything. When the gutters were clogged, or the siding was loose, I would smile because it would mean Fred would be around soon with his ladder and his wit. With his few words, Fred always made me feel special, and I know this is shared with many in our community. We are all so lucky to have known such a selfless and genuine man.

Mr. LaPolice was a customer of mine when I worked at SUPER HANDY HARDWARE in Glenville during the 2000s. He was there quite often and always pleasant. I am very sorry to know of his passing.

Dear Elaine and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was a kind, helpful and very wise man. He helped me so many times with so may projects I had in the Arbor´s. My wife would never let me start a project unless I had spoken to Fred first. You and he were in my prayers every day and I will continue to pray for your health Elaine.
Once again, I am so sorry for your loss.
Respectfully and with Sympathy
