My condolences go out to the entire Bender family on your loss. I knew the family when Al and I went to Temple Beth Israel as young adults. Fred will be remembered fondly.

My sincerest condolences to the entire Bender family for your loss. I'll always remember Fred for that twinkle in his eye when we exchanged friendly barbs. And I'll especially remember him for his unique talent in knowing every button that could set his daughter off. 'When we love with all we have, we grieve with all we are.' My thoughts are with you.
