A super brother-in-law and an even greater friend who I will dearly miss.

Tasks left undone must remain that way,Our Lord and Savior has summoned you home. The many people whose lives you touched will forever be grateful for having shared a piece of their lives with you. This world was a better place with you in it.Rest in peace with the Lord my friend

Fred was a kind, warm hearted man with an incredible sense of humor. He was the consummate gentleman. Fred will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

We are so blessed to have been able to meet this awesome gentleman. We will be forever grateful for the love he showered on our sister-in-law and nieces and their families. We know he will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Grandpa was liked by all and will be missed. He was the best grandpa you could have, he included you in every thing he did no matter what age you were. He got me intrested in electronics and wanted me to have all the new ones. Grandpa was the one who nick-named me sammyjoe, he was the best grandpa a boy could have and will be missed.

It has been about a week since we laid you to rest and we all took pride in knowing that you would have been so happy with the services mom planned for you. Especially the trooper escort! I wanted people to know some of the things that I remember that made you so special in my life. First, You loved my mom. You pursued her as I know when you first asked her out she said no -but you did not give up - even after you found out that she had 5 feisty daughters who were somewhat broken. You took on another man's job - never complaining and never judging. You gave daughters away in marriage and stood proud as more and more babies came into this world. I remember our visits each summer and our passionate talks. We did not agree on some things-- "liberal" education, the story of Noah's ark, going to the movies and Michael Jackson! However, I always felt you respected my opinion. I saw you change and become a softer more tolerant man, you allowed your children to grow and encouraged them along the way. I laugh remembering how before we took a boat ride we had to clean the boat and how we always whispered behind your back what crazy man makes you clean before and after a boat ride! I remember how you looked with disdain as 2 of your new daughters did not eat meat and how the others had to have their steaks well done. 10 years later you would pretend not to know that we ate our meat well done and would go through the Fred Wright "How do you like your steak? Really well done?" I so remember talking about education and how you would go on and on about Pres. Obama and his "everyone should go to college" and your "my plumber needs to know plumbing-" I laugh as I think about that now. And our last in-depth conversation and your question, "Gina, if you were to do it all again would you become a teacher?" Oh to have that time with you again, and yes I would - I love teaching children. I want the world to be better....... Lastly, we got to meet your children, Lori and Fred (and Eric) you would be so happy to see the instant bond we had and that we all felt your love during that time. I do feel a bit sorry though for Freddie - he now has 5 more sisters to deal with! Thank you Pop for loving mom, and her children. You were an amazing man and I will forever live as a hero in our lives. Love Forever, Gina Ann

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
