Dear Barb,
We were very sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He was such a kind and gentle soul, with a gentle sense of humour. As your Floridian neighbours in Estero, we always were happy to know you and Fred and Romeo were next to us. He will be dearly missed. Please accept our deepest sympathies. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Katherine and Robert Belisle
Dear Barbara and Family,
I was so sorry when I got word of Fred's passing. He was a fine person and a good friend in moments of need. One of my earliest memories of Fred (at age 12) was one of those moments. There was a horrific automobile accident right at the entrance to Greenfields Village, resulting in the death of one of my friends - we were on bicycles, and his was struck very hard. I was in a panic and didn't know what to do, and just burst into the first house I came to (Manupelli's house) in an hysterical state. The first face I recognized in the house was Fred. He put his arm around my shoulder and got me calm enough to explain to Mr. Manupelli what happened, and Mr. Manupelli quickly got on his phone to call the ambulance and police. Sadly my friend was DOA, but I've always felt a special bond to Fred after that moment.
I enjoyed seeing and talking with you and Fred at the 35th reunion; sorry you couldn't make it to the 50th.
My Deepest and Warmest Sympathies to You and Your Family,
Bob Bill
Barb, Keith and Matt,
Sherry and I would like to send our condolences with the passing of Fred.
For years I have wanted to reach out and let Fred know how much he meant to me as a mentor and a friend. The hurt I caused him and Barb is something I will regret always.
I do have fond memories of him, Barb, Keith and Matt that I will cherish forever.
Our love and prayers are with you.
Jim & Sherry Hess
