my heartfelt condolences to the entire fiume family. I first met al in 1997 when I joined the medical unit at sea girt n.j. we both became instant friend's due to the fact we were both Italian and would call each other pisan. he had a great sense of humor and we were always playing joke's on each other . he alway's talked about how much he loved his family. I am truly sorry for the loss of your husband and dad and my good friend. take comfort that we will see him again in heaven.

Joanne,
Was shocked to hear of Fred's passing.
Stay strong at this most difficult time. I "too", know what it's like to lose your "soul mate", as you know. You will never forget him, believe me. I will never forget his kindness, and what he did for
me. My love to you, your children, and all family, and friends.
He is at peace, with God.
Love,
your cousin,
Evelyn
