ROSE AND I WERE SADDENED TO HEAR OF FRED'S PASSING. WE REMEMBER THE FUN TIMES THAT WE HAD WITH FRED AND JOANNIE, ESPECIALLY THE BUS TRIPS TO YANKEE STADIUM WITH THE K OF C GROUP. FRED WAS A GREAT GUY WHO HAD A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR. WE WILL MISS HIM A LOT AS WILL MANY OTHERS WHO KNEW HIM. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO JOANNIE AND HER FAMILY ON THE LOSS OF SOMEONE THEY ALL LOVED DEARLY. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
