Memory Board

We've created a memory board for Fred. For all of his and our friends and family, please add your favorite and funny memories to the board. For anyone seeing this page who didn't know him, we’d love for you to view it and know what joy he brought to our lives. We know he wouldn't have liked the attention, but he'd have loved hearing the stories.

From the Gerlinger Family, we thank you for taking the time to acknowledge such a wonderful example of a father, a husband, and a friend.
