    My condolences to your family. I was thinking of people that I knew " in the day" at Edwards Enterprises, and Fred kept coming into my memories. Fred hired me in January 1987 and one day he told me that he hired me because I smelled so good! He laughed and said that I had no idea how bad allthe other candidates smelled. I told him, that here, I thought that I had aced the interview. And we laughed about it for ever! He was such a genuinely nice man and I had noticed that every time he had to go meet with the owners or other senior managers, he would push back his chair, open his drawer and put on chapstick. So it got to be a joke between us. I remember his Blue Bronco with his Hawaii bumpersticker and I remember him talking about Leilani, all the time. She DEFINATELY could do no wrong. My prayers are with your family. ❤️ With much fondness. He was always so kind to me and my family. Cathy McKim
