I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was a good friend. From our teenage years till now. I am going to miss him. On his last visit to us just weeks ago, we both thought he was beating it. I guess God needed a darn good craftsman cause Fred was most certainly that. Rest in peace my friend.

Jeanette and family, my most sincere condolences to you all of you at this time.
You all know how special Fred was to me as a neighbour, a true friend, source of knowledge and teacher. He taught me to always try to excel at difficult acheivements. I’m so sorry for your loss, but also know how much you appreciate having had him in you life as I do.

Jeanette and family – My deepest sympathy to you all. Fred was a pretty neat guy, amazingly talented in his carvings, a welcoming and funny friend and an all around good person. The last time I saw him we were looking at old photos of him and Jeanette, at which time he told me he was considered a hunk in those days. What a hoot! Bless you Fred.

To the Pilson family: I am sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. We lived around the corner from the Pilson home and all went to school together. The last couple of Bolton School reunions it was nice to see him.
May God be close to all of you at this time, remember the good times with him.
Regards, Dorothy Crawford(McCabe)
