What a shock as I just found out this morning. Our deepest condolences to you Marianne and the family, Fred was one of my customers when I was on the road and I couldn't have asked for a better reception when I came to visit the whole family. THEY were the best customers and friend a person you could ask for. They always treated me with respect and I Never forgot that. It's too bad as we get older and because of health issues we lose contact with others. Again Marriane take Care of your family and I know that they will take care of you. Again Diane and I offer our deepest condolences to the whole Ostermann family family. LARRY and DIANE OZUK - Posted by: LARRY OZUK (Friend) on: Sep 18, 2025
