"I\'m sorry to hear of Fred passing. He was kind, softspoken, and a joy to have a drink with or play a fews holes of golf with. I also, saw his love of construction, and looking over a set of plans for a building project. I\'m sure anyone that spent a day on a project with him, enjoyed that day of work. Jack Richardson"
