“Carol and I wish to commemorate the Wadden family and our friend Fred in particular. Fred and his family have been a close intgral part of our family. There have been a lot of celebrations where laughs, good food and camaraderie has been shared. Fred was always quick to smile and provide advise to those he was close to, and those will be missed. The memories were plenty and will continue to be cherished. We pledge to uphold Vanda, Jefferey and Adam during this trying time. The Rattigan Family”

“Even though you were a devout pastafarian, the boys and I still hope to hang out with you again someday at the Pit or Social in the sky. You were the glue that kept us all close for 40 years. You were the conscientious needle that always pointed North keeping us on the straight and narrow. We’ve lost our compass. I’ve lost my best friend. Miss you buddy. Now and always. Deepest of condolences to your family and friends”

“Fred: I’m sure anyone that had the privilege of being your friend will agree that you understood the meaning of brotherhood, friendship and loyalty. You may have left this world physically, but you’re not completely gone, my friend. Although there won’t be any new memories or laughs, like most of your friends, I’ve got over 40 years worth that will stay with me forever. You will be missed, my friend.”
