What a perfect picture to honour his memory - exactly as he should be remembered! The Perry-D'Orazio bond has always been a cherished, special bond that began 53 years ago when I was 2 years old. So many memories, some of my happiest that included Fred. Early morning drives to hockey practice and hockey games and the advice given on those rides. Christmas carols by the organ. Lots of shared meals. Many birthdays celebrated (Jason and Fred shared the same birth date) culminating many times with chocolate cake that Fred looked forward to as much as us kids...although he had his piece with a "bit" of butter. Rolling around on the family room floor with Spike, Spike growling while both of them loving the ritual the whole time - I loved watching that! Although there are many more memories, truly, maybe the best is if I close my eyes and imagine him, exactly like he is in the picture above, I can hear that genuine, heartfelt, fully committed laugh...I will never forget it and I will never forget the wonderful man that he was. RIP Fred and know you were loved. Jason, Ian and Jeff, I send all of our family's love to you and yours with our deepest condolences. Jim
