Sally and family . . we are so sorry for what your family is going through right now. I can honestly say ‘been there/done that’ and as both you and Fred were there for us when dad passed away suddenly back in 2014, so now we are here for you. Just know you aren’t alone, just know there are many prayers for you and your family to help guide you through the difficult days. We love you and are here for you if you need anything, anything at all. Our deepest sympathy to you all! And I know that dad and Fred are already causing trouble together. . just like old times! 🙂
Sally and family- We are so sorry for your loss and our deepest sympathies to all of you!! Fred was SUCH A SPECIAL MAN!!!! I (Stacy) have so many fun memories of working with Fred when he would come into the DC Sales wholesale house for Air Mechanical. We would sure kid each other and give each other a hard time. We sure had fun times and so many many laughs and even after retirement when he would do things with my parents and come and play cards! I know my dad was there to greet him in heaven with open arms and show him around that heavenly paradise. He is at peace and no more suffering. Was glad I got to see him and say my goodbyes on Tuesday – you know he was a very special man to me and my family! Love and prayers!!!
Sally and family we are thinking of you and we miss Fred too!!!! He was always so fun to be around and always gave such big smiles and love to everyone he met or knew, He will be missed! Wish I could be their with you all but you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you Sally and family, God has his arms around you all.
Our condolences, Sally. We were sad to hear of Fred’s passing. He was “one of the good guys”, always joking and having a good time. He will be missed.

Fred was a great fellow. Really going to be missed.
We worked together with Fred on jobs quite a bit as an equipment supplier for Air Mechanical.
We were in Denver for Dennis’s sister funeral over weekend. Just home today. So shocked to see in paper. Fred was such a “good” guy! He always made us laugh, and it was fun to be with him and Sally. We will miss him, and always have great memories of him. Probably will see you soon.
We are very sad to hear of Fred’s passing. He was one of the nicest most up beat people we knew. Fred will be missed by all who knew him. Dick and Karen Diehl

Fred was such a good man. We enjoyed every minute spent with him. They were few and far between but special none the less. He will be deeply missed.
