Just heard of Fred’s passing. I will rejoice with his family that he is home with his Lord. Fred was always so pleasant and good to our parents. At Christmas, he always remembered to bring mom snickers bars. He would stop and visit with my mom and dad often. He always remembered everybody’s name, to ask how they were, and mom and I would often stopped down to visit with Kate when we were out for a walk around town. You are home now Fred, Rest In Peace.

I was saddened to hear of Fred’s passing. I have many good memories of growing up together with the Doele family in Caledonia. Fred was a friendly and kind sole and he was especially kind to our parents when he would just stop by and visit for a while. I would see him often when we were home for a visit. Rest In Peace, Fred!

I was sorry to learn of Fred's passing just today. Being from Caledonia, we were friends with the Doele family. He was a frequent visitor at my mom and dad's home, especially when my dad was sick, and then my mom!! I always appreciated him taking the time to see them... He was a sweet man! Thoughts and prayers for the family, MaryJo (Good) Boerema

We are so sorry to hear of Freddie's passing. Such a shock. We both remember well sitting on Mom and Dad's front porch and chatting it up with Freddie. And he was one of a very small group who still got away with calling Dan "Danny". We will miss seeing Freddie around town in the summer. God bless and keep you all.

May God's peace be with you all. I always enjoyed the time I got to spend with Fred. It was even more special when he and I had the joy of meeting with any of his family. The love shared both ways was evident.
