  • I’m so sorry to read of Fred’s passing, he was a good friend to my dad (Bob Wren) for many years. We last saw Fred and Erik at Bob’s funeral service this past July. It’s not easy to loose a parent or spouse, so many good memories to cherish. I have fond memories of being out on the lake with Shelley water skiing and hanging out for a couple of summers. My sincere condolences to you all your in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Ellen Simic
