Fred has left this world but he will live with me for the rest of my days. Fred was more then a father in law he was my friend. Fred leaves behind his wisdom that I will carry with me the rest of my life. He will be missed but never forgotten. May god hold you tight and comfort you. Loved and missed but NEVER forgotten.
