Dear Mrs. Guttas & Family,
I was truly saddened to learn of Mr. Guttas passing. I have such wonderful memories of him that I will always cherish. To this day, whenever I see the letters "PL" I remember Fred calling his father by those letters....my heart goes out to you all.

Dear Sara and family,
Our sweet Fred was such a good person, such a kind and thoughtful man. He loved to laugh with us and at himself. His door and his heart were always open. I'll remember his smiley face forever and keep you all in my heart and prayers. God be with you now and always. May he rest in peace.
