Pat and I had the privilege to know Fred and Lilly during our years at Emmanuel Catholic Church in Delray Beach. They were two of the earliest parishioners of Emmanuel. I had the privilege to edit Fred's unpublished autobiography that he dedicated to "Lilly - The Girl of My Dreams, My One in a Million, My 'wunnerful' Wife." He also called her, "The Greatest Dane." Theirs was a love affair for the ages distinguished by their deep faith. They are together again and will be forever. God Bless You Lilly.
