Please accept my condolences, prayers and thoughts on Fred’s passing. We were colleagues at the Court of Appeals for many years. We had some lively chats sharing recipes and gardening tips. Some of my favorites came from his Maine Diner Cookbook. While I am sure that his health issues caused him to have difficult days, in my day to day association with him, he never inflicted his discomfort on those about him. He was a good, gentle, sharing man whose family was his center.
May the Good Lord be good to him.
