Hey Fred, sorry I could not meet you at your meeting on Tuesday. I still need that budget for the Pearly Gates. Need to reduce the cost by 20%. Please make it happen. Jim

Andrea & family: We are going to miss Freddie so much. It is sad to know we will never be able to hear his voice on the phone again. We get a smile on our faces thinking of his laughter and humor!! His sincere understanding and compassion he had during Cliff's health difficulties will never be forgotten. He was truly so caring and concerned to us during that time even as he was not well himself. Freddie was such an inspiration to our whole family. We all respected and loved him. We will miss him so much!!! We praise God that he came to know and accept the Lord and that we will see him in heaven!

Andrea, I was very sad when my dad, Cliff Cosat, told me about Fred Jr. passing away. But I rejoice when I read the obit. that he is with his Lord & Saviour! How magnificent that this is only a temporary goodbye, since we know there are no goodbyes in Christ. Praise the Lord! Fred Jr. was a very sweet man, and though I didn't see him often, the few times I did see him, he had a great impact on me in his sincerity & love for his family. You and your family are in my prayers. God Bless!

Andrea and family, I have just received word of Fred's passing and am deeply sad! Knowing Fred for the past 19 years has been a great privelege. Working with Fred on the many projects that we worked together on was an even more privelege. We have lost an absolutely wonderful human being and he will be so missed. Much love from Kathy, David, Ian (Little Lud)Lesiuk and Tracey
