Dear Norma and family: I hope you remember me from Neisner Bros. many years ago. I am so saddened by Fred's passing. Just two days ago I was looking for him at lunchtime at ICC when I found out he was ill...then heard of his passing when I came back to the office. Please accept my sincere sympathy and prayers. He was a wonderful, dedicated, loving person and I was proud to know him and have worked with him. Dorene
