Condolence: One of the kindest dearest people I have ever met. I worked with him back in the 1970's at Grants.

Condolence: Aunt Rita and Family, Rob and I are so very sorry for your loss. We adored Uncle Fred: he was such a wonderful friend to me, since my very birth - and an equally wonderful friend to Rob, since the two of us met and married. Our love and thoughts are with all of you. And I hope it helps to know how much Uncle Fred was, and IS, loved. We will think of him every time I play my piano, and when we plant flowers (as we remember his beautiful garden) and when we laugh at the tv, and cheer on the Red Sox, and hang Christmas decorations. Our friends loved his wonderful decorations too, and they thought the world of Uncle Fred. Know that we love you too, and our hearts are with you. Love, Colleen and Rob

Condolence: To Rita and her family, I am so sorry to hear of Freddie's passing. As you know he was a lifelong neighbor and friend to my husband Ray's family, the Vanes. We have known Freddie just about all our lives and he was always a friendly, happy man. May he rest in peace. Barbara Vane and family
