Uncle Fred was a special man loved by so many. He was a caring husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend. Uncle Fred was full of life and laughter and will always be remembered that way. My deepest condolences to Auntie Nelia, Albert and Charlene, Armando, and Amelia. We are here for you whenever you need anything.

Uncle Fred will be missed greatly. He was generous in spirit, laughter. Always had something to smile about despite his physical changes. I will never forget Uncle Fred's kindness and love. I would like to mention to Auntie Nels and family that we love you and that you are never alone. We are always here if needed. That is what family is for. May Uncle Fred rest in peace and again my thoughts are with you Armando,Lit Lit, Albert, Auntie Nels.
With Much Love,

Dear Armando and Family,

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Pops was one of a kind and will be missed by everyone who knew him. He was a smart man, a walking enclycopedia of customs and air freight cargo rules & regulations...he knew EVERYTHING, he helped me out on more than one occasion!

In an industry where they are few and far between, Pops was one of the "good guys"...a sweet and honorable man with a great sense of humor. I was blest to know him and grateful to have worked with him.

With love and heartfelt sympathy,
Chris Libby
