Fred was part of the Chicago Religious House with us in Fifth City many years ago. (Jeremiah was in kindergarten or lst grade, so about 1983.) I recall that he was involved with a Lutheran congregation at that time and also trying to keep us all healthy with Shaklee vitamins which helped supplement his income. He also was part of the staff of Fifth City Business Careers as it started up. Fred’s gentle manner and hearty chuckle comes to mind as I remember him. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; background-color: rgb(241, 240, 240);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; background-color: rgb(241, 240, 240);" class="">Lori wrote the following in response to some of my questions:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; background-color: rgb(241, 240, 240);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; background-color: rgb(241, 240, 240);" class="">My daughter's and I were able to drive up from Texas to be with Dad and Juli for almost a week before he passed.
