So very sorry to hear of "Uncle Fred"'s loss. My condolences to the family. Once I got older, I had lost touch with your family, but I've always maintained very fond memories of you all, "Uncle Fred and Aunt Dottie," specifically, as my Godparents. I hope you are all otherwise well.

~ George V. Beer III

Never forgotten, always remembered with Love.

To Carol and family,
We're so sorry for your loss.  We love you guys - you're in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Patty and Doug

He really did have an amazing life. It's quite beautiful. I'm proud of him and his accomplishments. I'm honored he was my uncle. I was lucky enough to have him say a prayer at my wedding, and will forever cherish that. I will love you and miss you aways Uncle Fred. 

Just think Fred,
Our Friendship started when you asked me if I needed help having a Papasan Chair removed from my car to meeting Dottie my bestfriend.
We shared so many stories and laughter together through out the years.  I will miss you Fred and will see you again, but in the meantime  The Four Of Us Will Always Have Italy.  Love you my friend.  Irene

Fred,
You were the true meaning of Friendship and I'm so glad we shared it together.
I will always love you.
Your Buddy,
Andy

Dear Fred - we wish that we had words to express our gratitude for you and being a part of our lives.   We are so blessed to have had you and Dottie as our extended family.  Some of the fondest memories were over celebrations, weddings, graduations, and gatherings.   We will remember fondly your toasts, laughs, and being there.  To this day, I have borrowed “ may the best days of your past, be the worst days of your future”.   With love, Ryan and Tasha.

Our lives were enriched because Fred was a large part of it.
Bob always said Fred was the “Best Man”

Love, Olive and Bob Perras

Good times with great friends. We'll have our memories.

To Big Fred, my main man.

The stories and laughs throughout the years that we shared, will provide me with a joy in my heart. You always had a funny punch line that would crack me up, and your laugh always seemed to make me laugh even harder. The memories at Golden Shores and Indian Shores I will treasure always. I am thankful that in this life I have been blessed to meet such a person as you, and am grateful you have touched my heart. Thank You Big Fred....your pal Chris Ong...aka James Bond.
