 Dear Ellie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I only met Fred once but had several pleasing conversations with him on the telephone. If I had known of Fred's passing I would have been at his funeral service. My deepest sympathy to you and the family.

My deepest condolences to the family.  May the assurance at Psalms 29:11 provide comfort to you at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss, Ellie and family.  I did not know Fred well or long but my dad lived in the apartments where Fred and Ellie lived and my dad passed away earlier this year in April, not long after meeting this couple, but what a wonderful friendly, happy and outgoing couple they were. And what a good long life he lived.  he was always happy every time I saw or spoke to him.  I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers, and peace and good health to you, Ellie, in 2018!

Dear Ellie,: I just read about the loss of your beloved, Fred, so sorry
and wish to extend my deepest sympathy to you and the family.
Sorry I was not in  town to attend the service.

Dear Ellie, just read of Fred's passing and Jack and I are sending our love to you.  Sincerely, Jack and JoAnn Huff.

I do not think that anyone who ever met Fred could forget him. Just to know him and say that he was your friend is what I consider Our blessings in life.
He was our neighbor for many years. Fred and his wife would spend many relaxing days with my mother and father aboard his pontoon boat on Lake Jacomo. 
I marveled at his artistic abilities and would watch as he effortlessly painted the Special Sale signs for Cosentino's Supermarket.
I knew him to be a fiercely devoted father to his children and taking the role of peacekeeper  time and time again. Case in point:
His son Fred was and still to this day, remains my best friend. In the debt of the winter of 1969, Fred and I, as we often did, found ourselves in Trouble once again. Instead of facing the consequences, we decided to run away. We didn't go too far (39th and Noland rd.) and stayed in a fort with a hidden attic space. One day we say Fred coming across a field towards us and we made our way into the secret attic space. Fred came in the small shack and couldn't understand where we had disappeared to. He never did find us. Later on I found out the Fred had searched for his son without rest for those three days. 
It did then and still has a great impact on my life. His unending search defines him and his loving devotion to your children.
My own father never even stepped outside to look for me.

Words cannot adequately express our sympathy to the family on the loss of such a fine man and friend. Throughout his long service with the Defense Mapping Agency he was always a contributor, innovator and good friend. He will be remembered for his dedication for all activities with which he was associated. His presence was an inspiration to all with whom he had contact.

Fred worked at Gallup Map as a cartographer for about 25 years or so. His quality of work in all he did here was exceeded by the quality of a man he was to all he met. Mom, Bob, Jerry, my family and myself loved him and will miss him. Pat Carroll Gallup Map Company.

Our Uncle Fred.  Your presence will be missed so much. Another great loss to our family. You are forever in our hearts. 
With All Our Love,  Vince and Lindy
