Our deepest sympathy to Lori and your family. Your Dad helped with us several projects at our home in Council Bluffs. He was hard to keep up with but it always turned out great. It was an honor to know and to have worked with him.

Ellie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was a great guy. I will miss seeing him every week at the cancer center. He always had a smile even when he didn't feel great. May you be surrounded with love and hope and keep the memories close.
