Fred and I visited each other and worked together as cops in the USAF. We shared a Lebanese heritage and he was a master of story telling. I will miss my friend. John M. Bashara, CMSgt, USAF (ret).

Cousins, I wish I were there, and please know I am with you through prayers and in my heart. The loss of your Dad , my Uncle, is so hard to wrap my head around. Such a vital, wonderful, funny, inspirational man. He filled a room with his personality. He will be missed and our family will not be the same. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Prayers for peace in knowing he is with your Mom and they are happy, pain free and whole. Love and hugs. Sandy.

Dear Family, et al,
Uncle Fred was a role model, inspiring me to join the Air Force and then mentoring me along the way as I brought my professional and personal conundrums to him over the years for counsel. His characteristic Zarzour-men candor' and unfettered compassionate directness was invaluable to my development and success. It was such a joy to be reunited with him when my career took me to a position in Orlando in 2012 and share wonderful family love and affection with him and the girls', to have the privilege of being of some service to him on occasion, and enjoy the moment he finally gave up trying to fix my golf swing .
It is comforting to have personally heard his testimony of faith in Our Lord and know he is in that place prepared for him', out of pain, but never out of my heart and mind.
I deeply regret I cannot be there to share in what I'm sure will be sweet remembrances of how he touched all our lives; but know I am with you in spirit and gratefully, permanently a part of our shared memory of this special guy.
With Love and Affection,
Cousin Frank
