Dear Donna,
We've talked many times and still even now I can't seem to get the fact that someone that I then and now look at as a VERY DEAR and close friend has been taken away. I understand that this is going to be a long and trying road for you and for the many friends that Fred have,but I can't help it when I close my eyes and see Fred looking at us and shaking his head and saying, "why are you looking at the bad side of this situation and not what good we could pull from it." Donna we love you and Lauren, and we are always here. You're both in our prayers. Fred get some rest my friend, I Love you!!!

The Timpson Family would like to express our deepest sympathy to Donna, Lauren and the Ware Family. We have known Fred since Lunan Road in Clinton. We had so many good times together. He was one of us, our fourth brother, our best friend. Now he is gone but never forgotten. No more suffering no pain. He is in a better place. God wanted his soul to come home and join the rest of the Angels. So Donna and Lauren, God will continue to carry you through this difficult time. Everything will be alright.
We love you and will remember you everyday in our prayers. Delores(Ma)Teresa(sis),Kenny, Larry, Donnie Timspon

Donna, as your big brother and as someone who has experienced the lost of a love one, I can trully say that the love you receive from family and friends will help carry you through your pain and sorrow. Knowing Fred is resting peacefully in God's house in heaven, you should find peace with yourself knowing that you did everything within your power to make Fred's life on earth a pleasurable, memorable, and enjoyable one.

I remember the first time I met Fred and after a very short conversation, I was trully impressed with his competitive spirit and down to earth personality. Knowing Fred, he's probably organizing the first bowling league in heaven.

May God bless both you and Lauren and carry you through your grief. Mona and I and Family will keep you in our prayers.
Big Brother Raymond & Family

Hi Donna,
What to say??... I know that when my Mom passed Freddie was there for us and he always made me feel like it was okay to break down in front of him and anyone present. He knew that it wasn't much that anyone could say to ease the pain and that meant a lot. So I say to you... cry, don't put a time frame on your grief, but know that it does get easier with time and you learn to smile again and laugh again. You know that I lost both of my parents a year and a half ago, three weeks apart and people wondered how it is that I'm standing, and I can hoestly say... JESES! AND THAT IS THE TRUTH! I love you and when you feel like you're ready to talk, call me anytime.
Your cousin,
Cindy

My deepest condolences go out to the Ware Family. This news was definitely a shocker! Freddie was one of the most nicest and down to earth person one could ever meet. My thanks goes up to him for being a truly wonderful best friend to my sister, and he will be missed by many. The only other thing I can think of that he liked as much as bowling was dancing. So I would say to him. Freddie...Dance On My Friend. Dance On!!

Freddie, my dearest friend will truly be missed! We have been good friends for the last 18 years. I could confide my deepest problems with him and he always had good advice. Sometimes it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but it was always good to know that he was there as my friend. May God Bless you forever. Love you

Donna,
When I heard that Fred had died, my heart sunk. Even though I did not know him very well I know that the two of you were meant for one another and the love you and Fred shared will be carried on in you forever. I pray to God that you find comfort in everyone that cares about you and that you will one day find joy again. God Bless You. David.

Your Brother Bryan

August 15, 2007

To me Fred was a brother-in-law in “title” only as he instantly endeared himself as a brother to me and my siblings, and as a son to my parents. Our brotherly relationship however was unique in that we never argued as siblings do. In fact I can honestly say that every memory I have of Fred was surrounding a ‘good time’. The holidays, the many trips we took, the parties, games, whatever, it was all love. Love did sometimes turn quickly to hate when we discussed football, but even those ‘rivalries’ were fun.

Donna, Lauren, and family as you try to heal from the pain of the loss of my brother, please find strength in the words Fred himself would use at a time like this: “Live Life”. Do positive things from this point forward in his honor for he would not want you sad for long, and you know that! Find peace in the fact that he is no longer suffering, and is happily united with God and reunited with Mr. Ware Sr., and Fred III. Love you….

Your Sister Penny

August 14, 2007

I was with Donna when she met Fred, and it was obvious to me at their meeting that they were destined to be together. From the moment they decided to become a couple, Fred instantly became my ‘brother’ and always made me feel like he would do anything for me and my family if we needed it.
We have so many wonderful memories as a family with Fred, that I have lately found myself smiling through the sadness, as I reflect on all the good times. In my heart I know that’s just the way he’d want it, and it has been a source of comfort to me.
So Donna, please hold on to all the good times you two have shared over your many years together, and keep them like a shield over your heart. We all feel so lucky to have known Fred, and must honor his memory through strength and perseverance for earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

August 14, 2007

Donna, thoughts and prayers go out to you from our family knowing that loving and lasting memories will always be with you. Love you.

Dearest Sister Donna,
I know that your strong trust in God and time will help you to get through this very sorrowful period. I believe that God placed you on earth to take care of others and you cared for Fred so well. Both of your Freds are together again and will be watching over you until the end. We love you and will pray for your well-being always.
God Bless,

My condolences to Fred's entire family. Yesterday (Aug 6th) is when I learned of Fred's passing, I was shocked and saddened. I was out of town on a mini vacation that I had conversated with Fred about a few weeks ago. He gave me some suggestions on where my husband and I could go. Little did I know when we had that discussion at Blue Plains on a nice sunny day that that would be the last time that I conversated with Fred. During that conversation Fred mentioned the many trips he had been on and he praised his wife and how she was always doing things for others and his love for her. It was a good positive conversation that we had. I am now so very glad that I stopped by that day a few weeks ago to share that moment with Fred.

Fred and I spent some unique times at Blue Plains. We teamed up to play basketball against other areas of WASA during lunch and would often win. Fred loved crabs, and it so happened that I had the hook-up in Charles County and would always bring in a bushell and other seafood when we worked together. Fred and I worked countless overtime hours cleaning tanks at work. I especially remember back in 1994, when we had the bad Ice Storms. DC didn't have enough salt in storage and they started using sand on all of the streets. Well, it broke up every tank on the plant several times over for 5 months. Fred and I worked over 30 days straight in frigid temps cleaning tanks and continued up until late spring when all of the sand had washed through the Collection System as well as the plant.We also worked together on the Blue Plains Scale Model Project. We would take the model to various schools, appreciation days, environmental events, etc to educate the public on how we treated and cleaned wastewater. Unfortunately, we had a slight fallen out for several years and we put our stubborn differences behind us several months before I relocated to Georgia. I feel truly blessed that we did, because he was a person with special gifts and talents (Bowling and Softball)that he displayed all over the Country and he made a significant contribution to his job by helping to keep WASA out of Compliance. You will never be forgotten as you look down on us.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I hope that you can find the least bit of comfort knowing that if you need ANYTHING, the entire Fant family and I are here for you. We love you.

To the Ware Family:
I'd also like to express my deepest condolences to you and everyone that Mr. Fred has touched. He is definitely in a better place now. Just know that although he may not be able to be with you physically right now, he will remain with you in spirit. In the meantime, I hope that you will find solace in knowing, one day you will be together again. God Bless...

My memories of Fred are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole.
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
It’s the memories of Fred that I will never let go.
Fred watches over us now from above. Peace be with you all.

Fred was a best freind ,a brother, a co- worker, a professional laugher to my jokes, a fishing partner, my right hand man,a overseer to my family,someone who gave it to me straight and person who had my back. we did talk before he died but never said good by. I asks to all that read this take time out to speak to your love ones, because tomorrow will start without all of us one day.

My prayers are with the family at this time. Just remember GOD'S plan is what life is all about. HE will take care of you. I moved away from this area for over 8 years, but when I saw Fred at the bowling alley he still remembered that we had bowled together. He was and will continue to be a most unforgetable character full of fun and laughter. GOD BLESS.

I have mixed emotions about the departure of Fred. I'm sad because he will be missed but, glad because he has gone home to Paradise, the third heaven. If that place is haft as beautiful as decribed in the bible then, I know he is very happy and doing just fine. So Fred farewell my brother, I'll see you when I get there.

This has completely taken my breathe away and has left me at a loss for words. Fred, my friend, you will forever live in my heart and the hearts of those who have been blessed to know you. You have touched so, so many people with your kind words of advice, your generosity, your shoulder to lean on and of course that pleasant smile that followed you ever where you went. We really had some good times over the last few years with all the gang having our gatherings and celebrations what seemed to be every other weekend. As we continue to gather I speak for the entire gang when I say that we will honor you, love you like a brother/friend and remember you at all times.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Gone is the face,we love so dear.
Silent is the voice,we love to hear.
Too far away for sight or speech.
But not too far for thought to reach.
Sweet to remember him, who once was here.
Althought absent will always be near.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day GOD called you home.
Not being able to say "good-bye"
Will always bring regret.
But the ones who loved you dearly
Are the ones who won't forget.
A thousand times we have missed you.
A thousand times we have cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
