Dear Lisa & Family,I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Freddy. I will always remember him sitting at the first bar stool at Casa Capri with his Korean War hat on and his Green Bay Packer coat. You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Sorry that I am unable to make it home from school in California.With Sympathy,Carrie Ann
