Dear Schlotman family, Its been many years since I last saw Fred, he was a great guy to know. I remember him very well from his days at St. Rose and also living next to the Old St. Rose convent. I wish he have seen St. Rose Church now, its most beautiful. I will have a mass said for his soul there very soon. Paul K.
