 Father Fred made an impression with everyone he knew. Even though Father Fred was an uncle to his nephews, he was in many ways like a grandfather to them. Father Fred was the spiritual foundation for his family, doing their marriages, christenings, and funerals. He visited his sister Sheila and husband Manuel weekly as long as can be remembered and never missed a celebration with their family. He will be missed dearly by his family who are so grateful for the time Father Fred spent with them. Father Fred was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
