Dear Fred,
May God have welcomed you into His loving arms after so many years of devoted service here on earth. All suffering now past, may peace and love and joy with all God's heavenly angels be your future for all eternity. Until we meet in heaven, may God bless all your loved ones here on earth with special memories of times spent with you. Sending love.

Our condolences to Fr. Freds Family. It was an honor and a privilege to work with Fr. Fred at Divine Infant Parish and School and at St. Louise de Marillac Parish and School. His support of the students, faculty, and administration was fantastic. Fr. Fred was not just a pastor but also a friend. He was pastoral when needed and fun to be with too. He was a role mode for our sons. We had many great celebrations in the school with him. He will be greatly missed. God called him because he was needed.
