Cathy,
My deepest Condolences to you and your family. I still have a wooden ILY clock carved and made by Fred in the computer room.   I really appreciate it in remembrance of him. I still remember in the mid of 1980’s, Fred came to me after seeing a first issue of American Missions to the Deaf. The cover was  my drawing of a sign word Jesus on the cross.  He was proud to tell me that he was a very good artist, too.  He wanted me to see his drawings and crafts in his home in Manheim. 

A big beautiful Bible with a cross and a sign word of Jesus that was carved by Fred in First Deaf Mennonite Church’s sanctuary would keep us to remember Fred forever.  The Lord be with you and all.

With heartfelt sympathy –
I met this wonderful man – once or twice – had made a big impact on me for his wonderful disposition – smiles – and how do I admire him for his artistic talent …
Now he is in heaven – fingers/hands flying away -with smile- doing his art – his love – without any more pain.
God Bless you all –
Amen
