I´m so very sorry to hear of Fred´s passing (and also of Gerry´s). I met them when I worked for Dr Brian Komm, and just loved everything about them... both were kind, compassionate, clever and witty. I´m sure they will both be terribly missed by their family and friends. My heart is with the family at this sad time.

From being alongside Fred at Montana Power, camping, fishing, hunting, as a Rotarian, and watching him express how he loved his family, and his faith, I consider him to be a great American icon. Rest in peace good buddy!

Fred was a customer of mine for a long time when I lived in Butte, I managed the Toyota service department. Many people come into a service department cranky...car issues will do that to a person, but no Fred. He was never cranky, even in challenging situations. He was a friendly joy filled person and it was a pleasure to get to know him the little bit I did. I enjoyed reading about his background and his zest for life he left behind for his family. I am thankful that it is not goodbye, but goodbye for now. "For we do not grieve a some do, as if we have no hope."

I am so sorry to read of Fred's passing. He and Gerry were two of the kindest people, and always made me feel so welcome - from the day Shelly and I met in high school. I am sure the three of them are looking down on all of you with love as they are reunited. All my deepest condolences to the family.

What an absolutely lovely statement of Fred and his world ... his laugh will go down in history. I was fortunate enough to share that laugh with him and Gerry often over the last 40 years. My family will miss them both very much. Love to all the family , susan (Ike) Kalarchik
