So sorry to learn of Fred's passing. I graduated high school with Dianne, and networked with Fred at all the credit union functions. I was a 40 year board member at Belco Community Credit Union in Harrisburg. Fred and I had a lot in common. He was such a wonderful person who will be missed by many. God's gift to each of us is life itself. How we live that life is our gift back to God. Well done my friend.

Sending my Deepest Sympathy to Fred's Daughters, Grandchildren, Sister and Brother. You are in my thoughts and prayers. We lived a few blocks away in Cementon and drove to CCHS together--then again were neighbors for the last 30 years. I was fortunate to meet and chat with Fred at Weis market just recently. He was a great guy and I will miss seeing him as I pass his home. May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Erin, Marisa and family, siblings Priscilla and George and their respective families, Our condolences to each of you on Fred's passing. I sense Fred lived a great life from his time in Cementon, through his time in the Navy, especially during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, his marriage to Dianne, the birth of their two daughters, and when we attended some of the Molchany reunions, we could tell he was truly the social director of the event. It is fitting that we salute Fred, today on Veteran's Day as we express our memories of him and let you know that we ask God to comfort you in these days of sorrow.

So sorry to hear of Fred's passing. We worked together at Mack for quite a few years. He was always smiling and jolly. Such a very nice man. He always spoke so lovingly of his Dianne and his girls. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the family at this sad time.
