September 28, 2015 at 10:49 amI am very sorry to read of the passing of Roy Fredericks. He and his family were part of my St Margaret Mary school days and VI. My brother Bart went to school with Nancy. I enjoyed visiting with him and his wife Carol at the reunions. I will keep all of the family in my prayers. I was on Western Avenue. Roy was up by Fuller road before it got crazy traffic. I am sad for you all. I guess it was Warren St.
