All Condolences -

Some of my best childhood memories involve Uncle Fred. As soon as I saw his Cadillac in the driveway I knew that fun was afoot. I found a more recent photo of us dancing and immediately recalled his unusual dance steps, his unabashed singing, and the twinkle in his eye. My love and prayers are with you, Beverly, and all who knew him (because to know him was to love him). ~"Holly by golly"
