My dear Freddy...I thought of you through the years. So many memories. My childhood and teen years would not be the same without you in them. You were a good soul and I hope your life was good. God Bless you and keep you in his comfort. My condolences to his daughter. I still have your letters you wrote me when you were in the service.
