We were so sadden to hear of Fred's passing. We have fond memories of times gone by in the "John Hancock Honor Club". He was a very honest friend, never to be forgotten. Another angel to watch over all. May you all find peace at this most difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are unable to attend services because we are in Terceira, Azores. Fred and I go back to 1969. Rest in peace, Fred, you will be missed.
