Rita, my deepest sympathy in the passing of Fred. We were school chums, and we went to work for the FBI back in 1956. We did meet one time when you folks came thru Mass. and we had lunch together. Again it is with deepest sympathy that I write this. He is in a much better place and we will see him again.
Regards, Fred Berry

So sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He was my manager for many years with The Hartford, and I have many great memories of him.....including annual pancake breakfasts when he made maple syrup. So many fun times. My condolences to you, Rita, and the rest of the family. Would love to have been there for his service, but had hand surgery this week and driving is an issue right now. I know you'll find comfort in all your memories with this great man.

Rita and family,
I was stunned to hear of Fred's passing. He was (is) such a part of the fabric of our community, it's difficult to imagine not seeing him around town. Fred truly is an example of what humans are creatto be: productive, humble, gentle, loving, God fearing, but with a great sense of humor. In a world often lacking in examples of what a good man should be, Fred stood out as a beacon! And we in Candor got to call him friend and neighbor. We were greatly blessed!

Dear Rita & Family: I was so sorry to see that Fred has passed away. He was a wonderful, humorous, faith-filled man. He was a great boss and I cherish our years at The Hartford. The practical jokes between the staff and Fred kept everyone laughing. Because he was such a good boss everyone worked their hardest so our office would be something he would be proud of. And in the years that followed its closing, the Christmas cards we exchanged were about God and family. I hope his family will take some comfort in knowing Fred is now in the arms of his loving Father.

Thoughts and prayers Mrs Quinlan, Eric, Pam, Jennifer and Gretchen. I remember some fun times collecting sap and sitting around the fire making syrup. Each year those pancake dinners were the best!
Mr Quinlan often wrote encouraging letters to me while I was at college challenging me to grow in my faith. He was a wonderful example of a godly man, and will be greatly missed.

Our hearts are heavy for the Quinlan family and friends at this sad time. What a treasure that Fred was...always uplifted our spirits and you never knew where you'd see him "around town." Candor certainly won't be the same and neither will our rides around the block! RIP, Fred - you are missed. Keeping you all in our hearts, prayers, hugs and cares. Who'da thunk Fred to be an angel one day!!??
