I was saddened to hear of Mr Botfield's passing and my thoughts are with the family. Spent much of my teenage years with Fred III at the Botfield home, at the baseball fields and at the Music Fair. I will remember Mr Botfield as a great guy, always approachable, and someone who was all about family.
