[Oe List ...] Fred's completed life

[Herman Greene]

Well said John.

Fred was the Lord of the Dance to me. He brought levity to my life. Just to
see him lifted me up. 

And yes, his words had multiple meanings. I never noticed how long he spoke,
I was enjoying myself too much.

He changed my life.

Hello Joe. Greetings from Kuala Lumpur.

Ann and I join you and a world-wide host of colleagues in celebrating
Fred's completed life. We are grateful to you and Paul for assisting
Lindsey in making the memorial service appropriate. Considering Fred's
life, an appropriate memorial is no small task!

Among his other memorable traits, Fred's love of the spoken word was
legendary. He never failed to search for the most unexpected way to
say something, and often succeeded in conveying multiple levels of
meaning without the constraint of brevity. I once witnesses Fred
giving a 90-minute lecture from notes which consisted of 4 words on a
page. That lecture changed lives.

He now joins and enriches that great cloud of witnesses from whom we
continually draw inspiration, insight, and sustenance. We're grateful
to have known this giant of spirit.

Grace & Peace.

John Epps
