We first met Fred almost 31 years ago when we needed a moving company in Burlington. Moving days are often filled with chaos and our day had that potential when the moving company for the owners of the house we were moving into did not arrive until after mid-day. Fred took charge of the situation, guiding the workers from the other company, and by dinner time, we sat down with our family to enjoy our new home. He subsequently moved my parents to this area and moved my mom to a retirement apartment.
We have fond memories of a warm businessman with a big heart.
