  2. Freddy, you left us way too soon boss, friend, mentor and a genuinely good good man. I loved working with you as you willingly shared your knowledge, always had a sincere smile, always was appreciative. I loved to hear you talking about “happy plants” and because of your tutelage I learned how I could, in my assorted roles, keep them happy–because you took the time to share your skills. You were a vital part of the Fick family operation, and I am deeply grateful that you helped me in so many ways as I fumbled my way through the learning process. You were delightfully patient. I know that you were a huge blessing to your family, and to them–I am deeply sorry for your loss.
