Dear Debrah, Gerard and Mark

This is the first time in my life that I do not have a brother and the three of you do not have a father. It is very hard for me as I know it is hard for all of you. I was always proud of my brother, Fred and proud of the St. Louis Metal he was awarded. I will always miss him and I will try to help each of you in any way I can.

He was such a good man I have no doubt that he is resting safe in the arms of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Love and Prayers,
Your Paran to Debbie and Uncle Jerry to Gerard and Mark

I was very sorry to learn about Mr. Zimmerman. He was my neighbor while I was growing up on Highland street. I would still see him in church and he always asked about my family. He was such a nice person. I am so sorry for your loss.

It is with love and a great respect that I send condolences to my Zimmerman family. This loss will always be heavy in our hearts because Fred was such a fine father, grandfather, father in law and a wonderful man. He will be deeply missed.
