Your loving grandchildren

Miss me--but let me go. When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little--but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, miss me--but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me--but let me go! --Author Unknown. Dedicated to grandpa.

Fred was really a nice person. A Gentleman and a professional businessman. When he was a Board of Directors member for Associated Builders Contractors I could always depend on his support and guidance. Another old soldier has faded away. Rest in peace.
