I'm so sorry for the loss of Fred. I'm a childhood friend of Fred's and haven't seen him since he was released from service. I have many fond memories of him as a good and faithful friend. We had great times during our youth and I can remember when he met Carol fell head over heals in love with her. Fred was a man with many interest, focused on who he was and direction he planned to take in life. He was a gentle soul with purpose and I wish I had known him in our adult years. God bless him and to his entire family. May God help relieve the family of the hardship and suffering from his loss. Yes, a great Friend I have lost, Love you Man.....

Kim and Josh, your dad was one amazing man! One of those rare true gentleman that you don't find too often any longer. I never heard him complain no matter how tough life got.
As difficult as it is for you, he and your mom are dancing in the heavens now, rejoicing that they are back together where they belong. Hugs to you! Your parents will be forever missed and never forgotten.
