My recollections of Fred…
Even though I only knew him for a very few short time, I felt like I had known him for years.
He seemed charismatic and true, yet always trying to get ahead.
Always having a big smile, a real gentle and kind man; with not a mean streak in his body, it appeared.
So, what do you say when a friend, so warm, genuine and true,
Is suddenly gone from this world, without any adieu?
All you say is that the world is a much better place, because Fred walked in our midst.
Surely, we are the ones blessed because he touched us with his heart, and his grace.
