Dear Dr. Jo and family, I´m so sorry to hear of Dr. Fred´s passing. I don´t get the paper and just now came across this obituary. I know he had been struggling for a while. And although I am thankful he is no longer suffering it is sad that he has gone. We will certainly keep you in our prayers. Peace be with you. With love from the "Blair Bunch"
