My deepest condolences to my "second family". We had fun times growing up on the ranch and going to school. So sad to hear you have left us so young. Fred, rest in peace. God bless you.
Our Prayers and love go out to Fred's family and close friends. We went to school together a very long time ago and then reconnected on Face Book a couple of years ago. It was our prayer for his healing and he has now experienced the ultimate healing still sad that he left so young. Dale and Diane Lang
Our heartfelt condolences to Fred's loved ones. You're all in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time of loss. God bless you! We had the pleasure of speaking with Fred at Sarcee Hospice the evening before he went to his Heavenly home, and we all enjoyed reminiscing from years past.
We are so sorry to hear about Fred's passing. He was a kind, shy soul! We pray God will comfort you during this difficult and sad time.
