Story shared: Our Uncle Fred

Sat, 04 May 2013 16:51:34 EDT

Growing up our family made many trips to North Reading and later to North Haven to visit with Aunt Helen and Uncle Fred. We also visited and stayed at The Anchorage prior to their moving there full time and when I later married, Uncle Fred and Aunt Helen graciously let us have use of their home for our honeymoon. A lot of great memories. I am so blessed to have been able to share my family with them as time went on. While not a man of many words Uncle Fred was wise and thoughtful with a wonderful wit and a special sense of humor. We will miss him. I wish we could have made the memorial service but will be visiting with Aunt Helen in late June. Love Paul & BJ

Fred and I met at The University of Massachusetts veterans campus at Ft. Devens,Ayer, Ma. We sang in the glee club together.Later we all moved to the Amherst campus. We continued to sing together. Fred had a great tenor voice and played really great jazz on the piano. My wife Mary met Helen, attended their beautiful wedding and kept in touch after graduation. Fred and Helen became God Parents to our two children. We visited them often in North Reading and later on North Haven. On campus Fred and I both drove 1939 Ford convertibles. His a two door with a rumble seat, mine a four door convertible sedan. Those were part of the ties that bound our friendship together.We loved our visits to North Haven, especially when Helen's father, Mr. Mitchell was there as only then would Fred allow a lobster in the house. Fred was my last connection with UMass '50. We miss him greatly.

Condolence From Patricia Weaver

Helen, I was one of many that helped take care of Fred. He was a delight and his smile contagious. Please except my sympathy in his passing and my prayers for you. He will be missed by many. Pat
