A truly special person to me

It's still so hard to believe Uncle Fred is gone. He was truly such a special person, and I know he'll be incredibly missed and remembered with so much affection by everyone who knew him.

I've been thinking about him quite a bit lately. I'll always carry with me the memory of his wonderful, confident presence – and that smooth, commanding voice of his.  What I'll particularly cherish is the incredible wisdom and advice he always seemed to have ready. He really did have a knack for knowing just what to say, and I learned so much from him.

He's truly missed, more than words can say. Love, your nephew, Sean Hannum.
