Dear Auntie Judy and family. I apologize for not being able to attend Uncle Freddie's service. I have so many wonderful memories and the involved our families having a great time. There was the trip to the Black Hills, Boxing Days at our house. There were stories of missing shoes and trees being knocked down in your yard. I will always cherish the great football chats I had with Uncle Freddie at the Bomber Games where that special coffee in the thermos helped to thaw my butt from those freezing cold bench seats. Although, Uncle Freddie you have left us in body our memories of you can never be taken away. Rest In Peace Uncle Freddie.

I would drive out of my way to get gas from Fred. He was a warm, kindly man. He was the only one who could make my "filler up" experience a great way to start my day! Sincerest deepest sympathy to his family. - Posted by: Erma (customer) on: Jun 06, 2013

Fred was a long time friend, we worked with him and enjoyed other outside activities with him. Fred's wonderful strong laugh and smile will be missed by all. We will never forget Fred's kindness. Fred showed everyone how to love and live life to the fullest. I'm sure Fred is telling all his stories while waiting at heaven's gate. Dear Judy and Family--Our sympathies are with you all. - Posted by: Love Conrad, Kim Starkell and Family (Friends) on: Jun 06, 2013

Freddie always held a special place in my heart. He had a great sense of humor and was a very kind person. Being an extremely shy 14 yr. old having to change schools, I was first welcomed in the classrooom by Freddie. He introduced me to other classmates making me feel welcome. He made the transition easier for me. - Posted by: Karen Lalonde (school friend) on: Jun 05, 2013

Dear Judy, Jason, Kirsten & Susan and family So very sorry to hear about Freddy. Our deepest sympathy to you all. May all the wonderful memories help in the days ahead and know they live in your hearts forever. I will always have fond memories of looking after Jason & Kirsten while Judy & Freddy would have an evening out and then Freddy talking up a storm when he took me back home after they returned. - Posted by: Debbie & Mario Archambault ((friend)) on: Jun 05, 2013

I first met Fred while he served on the East/West St Paul Police Commission. A fair and wonderful person who would never have a bad thing to say about anybody. He was a delight to be around and we often talked about old friends. He was also a fellow parishoner at The Corpus Christi Church in which I had the privilege of sitting behind. One Sunday morning while sitting behind him, I drew his attention to the price tag and jean size that were still attached to his brand new pants. He shrugged it off with a heartful laughter but never missed a beat. Judy and Family, my prayers and thoughts are with you. Fred may you rest in Peace, my friend. - Posted by: Nuno Camara (Friend) on: Jun 05, 2013

I used to go into work early with Fred so that we could enjoy that first cup of coffee together in the morning. He always had the coffee ready. We enjoyed our quiet chat time before the phones starting ringing. He'd bring his wife's awesome baking in to enjoy with our coffee. I loved when he'd make us a BBQ lunch outside the office on a warm summer's day. He was a great guy to work with and a dear friend with some amazing lifetime stories to tell. His family was his life. Such a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. I'm sure going to miss you Fred. - Posted by: Cindy Nicholls (Friend/Co-Worker) on: Jun 04, 2013
