Dear Dann, Scott, and families:
I think you and yours did a great job both with your Mom, and Dad. I know it was a comfort to both of them when things were tough to know you were there. They both told me so. The past year or so, whenever I came to visit, Fred would brag the both of you up one side and down the other….Great job! I’m sorry that Fred is gone now, and sorry that I didn’t know him better sooner… learned a lot from him…gonna miss him

Dear Dann, Scott, and families: I’m sorry for your loss, all of you. You took care of both your Mom and Dad when they needed you most. I know you did a good job. The last year and a half or so whenever I would visit, he would brag the both of you up one side and down the other.
I’m sorry that he is gone, and sorry that I didn’t get to know him better sooner. Learned a lot from him….gonna miss him…

Uncle Fred will always be remembered by our Family. He always had that small/sly smile going. Quiet unless you got him riled up. Then look out. Loved you Uncle Fred! You will always be “Remembered” right here!
