So sorry to hear of Fred's passing. I remember when I was very young he wallpapered our house in Pasadena. I never could figure out how he got everything so straight! Debbie and I send along our deepest sympathy to the Capriccio family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Fred was a good friend and a mentor to me in my Dad's Grocery Store.He taught me how to be a meat cutter and regaled me with stories of living in Boston and moving to California with his wife Rose.
He led a great life and his family will miss him.
His exploits of traveling to Mexico in a motor home and running a successful business would be the topic of conversation on Tuesday nights at the Pasadea Elks Lodge.
I will miss his effervescent personality and endless tales . May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him. God Bless!
My sincere condolences to his Family and Friends. There will be an empty chair at the Pasadena Elks Lodge and he will be fondly remembered.
