A funeral mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Friday, November 11, 2016 at Flynn Bros. Inc. Funeral Home, 13 Gates Ave., Schuylerville, with Rev. Martin Fisher, officiating (due to the church renovations). Burial will follow in Notre Dame Cemetery. Friends may call on Friday from 9-11 a.m. prior to the funeral. Memorials can be made in his memory to the charity of one's choice. Fred's family would especially like to thank all those people who befriended Fred over the years and formed the circle of love that kept him smiling.
