A true gentleman in every sense of the word. I will never forget all of the lessons that you taught me and will continue to try to make you proud of me. You were the BEST father anyone could ever ask for and I was lucky to have you as long as I did. I will miss you terribly everyday for the rest of my life, but will remember you fondly, always! I love you dad, with all my heart!
So sorry for your loss he sounded like a wonderful father, friend and person you must be proud.
thank-you for everything you have done for me in my life. You and your family have been great to me..I really miss you a lot. I will never forget you. You’ll always be someone special to me and a special place in my heart
Fred was so kind to me during the years we taught together at the O’Hearn school. I was inexperienced and he was helpful and supportive with his honesty and dry sense of humor. He gave me insight into the school culture and I enjoyed his stories about his own life growing up in Dorchester. Please accept my condolences and may the best memories bring you comfort.
My deepest condolences to you and family.
Be strong in these difficult times.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss and I’m thinking of you in these difficult times.
Paul Your Dad Will Be Sorely Missed By Those Who had the Pleasure to Have Meant Him. I’ll keep Him in My Prayers. He Was Very Much Focused On You. Demanding You Do What is Important At The Time. He was Frank, to The Point and Sincere.
I Will Have the On Going Opportunity to Continue to Listen To Stories You Share With Me, Germaine to Your Dad.
Your Friend,
Chris
