Fred was our neighbor, and a true "good neighbor." He got my husband Joe involved with the Lions Club and they enjoyed putting out the flags together for appropriate holidays. When Joe passed in 2013, Fred would mow our lawn along with his own. When my daughter Wendy moved in with me, he showed her how to use and maintain our riding mower. Wendy would bake oatmeal/raisin cookies for him, and Fred would return the cookie tin with a charming thank note; sometimes also more oatmeal & raisins! He would call one or twice a month to make sure we were OK. We will miss him so much, but are very thankful he was our friend and neighbor. Fred added joy to our lives, as I am sure he did to many others.
