Frederic Glecer

George Frederic Glecer, affectionately known as Freddy, passed away Friday, March 28, 2014. He will always be remembered as a loving, giving and genuinely caring person. He is survived by his mother Madeleine, sister Rgine, brother-in-law Andy, his nieces Corinne & Nathalie and his devoted companion Jane.

Freddy was born in Niort, France and came to America with his mother, father and sister at the age of 3. He has an extended family in France who remains close in touch.

Freddy started his career in the jewelry tools and equipment industry over 30 years ago. He purchased a small jewelry supply store in 1990, incorporated the business, The Mine Shaft Inc., shortly thereafter and over the years built a business that today serves jewelers throughout the Tri-County area. Fred was greatly respected for his expertise and his willingness to give his customers the benefit of his vast knowledge. He was known as the "problem solver" for anyone who needed assistance and would spend as much time as necessary with his customers until he had solved their problem. Fred was so well liked that many of his customers became his friends.

Freddy will be greatly missed but will always remain in our hearts. May he rest in peace.

If friends so desire, contributions given in memory of Freddy can be sent to Hospice By the Sea in Boca Raton (http://www.hbts.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26&Itemid=28) or to the cancer research organization of the donor's choice.
