Here is what one of Fred’s Clients had to say:
“Fred was amazingly flexible and kind. We all know saying good bye to a loved one is difficult, when you combine it with a military memorial to music is generally the one to be pushed aside. He was gracious and accommodating throughout. He even split the time up between the beginning and end, so that our heritage was represented very well. 2 parts of the memorial were extremely emotional for me, the bugle and Fred’s bagpipes. I would highly recommend that if you need or want bagpipes you reserve time for Fred, you will not be disappointed on any level. Thank you Fred, for your kindness, compassion and extreme flexibility. Our grandfather would be proud.” — Kelley M
