My dear Levon, I just discovered that Fred died or I would have attended the service. This has been quite a year for many of us "girls," hasn't it? Know that you and Fred are forever in our book of great folks in our life and memories of St. John's. Tom recalled our visit to your house many times; he just loved your gardens. Well, now he and Fred and Reds and Dick and Glenn Lippy can all carry on with their jokes, recipes, hobbies, etc. together. I'm glad our God is awesome, because that's quite a handful! Love always to you and your family, Deb

Uncle Fred was dearly loved by all of us. He had an warm, wonderful smile and infectious laugh. I know he is having a joyful reunion with Grandma and Grandpa Crouse, and his siblings, including my father, Jay. My deepest condolences to Aunt Levon, Kerry, Mark, Lisa and families. May your love for him and each other and the memories you hold dear, sustain you through this sad time. I am thinking of you and sending you love.
