I am sorry to hear of Mr. Voeller’s passing. I remember many visits down the road to their farm with Mom and Dad (Bill and Elsa Mastel) – there was always much laughter and good entertainment and tons of food. Fred and Carol were always so welcoming.
I would like to extend my sincere condolences and sympathy to Carol and family in the passing of Fred. I went to school at Glen Echo school for three years and three months with Fred, and then another year and ten months at Conquerville. I consider him one of my most honest and trusted friends. There was always a lot of laughter whenever we got together. He was the best guitar picker that I have ever known. I will always think highly of him, he was a real man of his word. He was the best. So long Fred, many happy trails.
