To John, Vicky, Dave, Chris and families – I’m so very sorry for your loss. I sadly cannot attend the Celebration of Life, but my prayers are with you all.
I will miss you so much papa! Your loved impacted so many but especially me! I will forever cherish your favorite cartoons, the huskers, fishing. All your favorite things!
I met Fred 13 years ago on my new but another journey through sobriety. Fred was my sponsor in AA. He helped me get through some of the toughest times in my life and was always there for me. I now just celebrated 13 years of sobriety and alot of my success was guided by Fred. He will dearly be miss by me and everyone else he helped along the way. Thank you Fred for absolutely everything.
Thanks, Fred. You’re a good role model and helped a lot of people.
So sorry to hear of Fred’s passing; our condolences and prayers go out to the family . My God continue to watch over Fred’s loved ones. Amen.
I want to express my sincerest condolences to the Martin family, especially to Margaret, Aaron and Kristina.. I haven’t seen Fred or the Martin family since the early 90’s when they moved out of my childhood neighborhood where I grew up playing with Aaron and Kristina. Fred was always nice and he and Margaret always provided a welcoming place to the kids in the neighborhood. I’m glad to know that Fred found sobriety, something that changed my parents’ lives. God bless and may Fred rest in eternal peace.
