Uncle Fred was one of the greatest men I knew. Always so caring and thoughtful of others, especially my Aunt Linda. I will always cherish the memories that I have of going to New York and spending lots of quality time with him. My only wish would be that my son would have been able to actually spend that kind of time with him. The stories won't be enough to really express and emphasize just the type of man he was. For that would be something he would need to experience for himself. I am happy that the pain and suffering is over for him. However, it will still be some time for those he left behind to fully recover from the impact. Aunt Linda, if you are reading this, I love you and I know it seems hard and that you will be lost without him but, it will get better. Slowly and with time the pain will ease. Just keep in your mind and your heart all the great times the two of you made and trips you took. For those memories will be what carry you on in life. "Love puts a twinkle in your eye and a song in your heart." Love Amber, Levi, and Garrett

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Grossman. For six years of junior and senior high school, I always had eighth period (the last class of the day) to look forward to...Band. He was not only a great teacher, he was also a good friend...a rare combination to achieve. He will be truely missed not only by myself, but also by my sisters, cousins, friends and all who had the good fortune of learning the joys of music with him.
