Words cannot express our deepest sympathy at the loss of your Dad. You have always welcomed me as part of your family and extended it to my family. I will always be grateful for the years of having your Dad here with us. We rejoice in the belief we will all meet again. Maybe at the next father-daughter dance when we get there.

Dear Lois and family,
We too shall miss Freddie. He was always such a joy to be around. And how he enjoyed his "wonderful treasures" at flea markets. I think he would buy anything if only they would let him win the bidding. I don't Freddie ever met a stranger because he could talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Mike especially will miss him. Our comfort is in knowing we will see him again someday in heaven.

Dear King Family,
My deepest condolences to you.
Mr. King was such a great guy and could always make me laugh whenever I would run into him.
I remember once at the scene of a fire I was doing a report on, from out of no where I hear someone yell out "Hey Little Rocks'", I looked around and there was Mr. King, (when he coached football at St. Bede's he called my brother Rocks), so whenever I ran into him he always called me Little Rocks.
He will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched.
May God Bless you and Mr. King and keep you in the palm of His hand.
