The passing of Fred was a total shock to me....and my condolences are sent to Mark and his lovely wife, Ronna and her kind husband, Matt and Chris and close friends and relatives of Fred......also to Judy, whom I had the pleasure of meeting before Fred died. I met Fred about 4 years ago when taking care of Fred's mother...Marilynn, as I was a nurse at a nearby facility. I remember Fred and Rinie bringing in their dogs to come and visit Marilynn, when they would come up to their second little home on the lake. Just a year and a half ago....I ran into Fred in the grocery store. He was so proud of his new home in Waupaca.....which he called the Lincoln Log home. He was very proud of that home. He loved giving people "the tour", especially of the garage and the upper level he was fixing up! Fred always had a contagious laugh when I visited with him. I will always remember his laugh and his smile! It is so very sad when someone is young and planning on just enjoying their retirement "up north" and instead their life is over. Makes us all realize how short life really is! And how important it is to have the confidence of an eternal life through Jesus Christ! Blessings to all his loved ones at this sad time! I will be praying for peace for all of Fred's loved ones!
