I was shocked to learn of Fred’s passing. Please know how very sorry I am, and may happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Fred. Fred came to visit me at the funeral home many times over the years and was always kind and we had some great conversations. Being both boaters we enjoyed story telling about times out on the high seas. More importantly we discussed the funeral industry and he gave me many embalming tricks of the trade I use today. Fred was a sincere gentleman and always had high regards for and looked forward to his visits. My sympathies to the family at this very difficult time

Dear Sue,
On behalf of our entire staff at Jones, Rich & Barnes Funeral Home please accept our sincere condolences of the passing of your beloved husband. Fred was a familiar face over the years when he worked for Dodge Chemical. We always looked forward to his visits and to catch up on what was happening in the funeral profession. Fred always had a good story to share, and before leaving he would say “Are you sure that you have everything you need.” He was always professional and caring to help whenever we asked for his advise. We will remember his friendly smile, because it was definitely contagious. We are sadden to hear the news today about Fred’s passing. May he rest in peace. Robert Barnes & David Jones.

I am so saddened to read of Fred’s death. I met Fred when I first entered funeral service in 1980.
The fact he was a fastidious embalmer is secondary to his gregarious nature.
He didn’t hesitate to share his latest jokes.
May he rest in peace.

I remember vividly of Fred telling us how wonderful the Dodge Family were as they took care of him during the challenges he faced. My thoughts and prayers are will you during these difficult times.

Most Sincerely,

Fred was a great guy and he always had time for people. He represented our profession very well and I am sure he was a significant influence in making Dodge the great company it is. Deepest sympathy.

Fred was always a gentleman and I enjoyed having him as my Dodge rep for many years. He enjoyed what he did and knew his product. His visits were welcomed by everyone. I remember when I was young and beginning my career in funeral service, he would always make a point to talk to me, which spoke to his character. I am honored to follow in his footsteps with Dodge. May he rest in peace.

Dear Sue – I know it has been years since we have been in touch but I want to send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We were so saddened to read of Fred’s passing. We have very fond memories of him, such a kind man. We hope all your wonderful memories you have made over the years will help you during this difficult time.

Fred was always the consummate sales representative for Dodge Chemical Company. He faithfully made his calls every four months and his sales calls were always most welcome. He had a great deal of knowledge, which he gladly shared with his fellow funeral directors. He never spoke badly about anyone, which was something I always admired. His son Fred III, was a chip off the old block. I miss both of them.

I am happy to have had the joy of having Fred as my Dodge representative for 20 years.
