Fred had been married to my mother for one month when I talked the two of them in to laying 20 inch porcelain tiles throughout my entire home😊. Slow, steady and precise... even with a mother and daughter there who were a bit more wild and slap happy in buttering those tiles. Never a hollow sound in his flooring... it was down and down for good. Fred was always there to help me out with many things around the house to make it safe and secure for a young woman living alone. I still have one of mothers dumpster dives (a rattan chair) that Fred rewrapped and reinforced that has moved to a third new home and still looking like new.
I can still hear his words at the dinner table “that’s tasty” as he savored each bite. Of course it was even tastier if it happened to be spaghetti with red sauce😂 It was a pleasure to have had Fred cross my path in this crazy journey thru life. His smile and great kindness will be missed. We Love you Fred♥️ Ron and Barbara
