I'm 50 and started hanging out at Red's when I was 20 or so. Had fake ID and I remember Red looking at it, looking at me, shaking his head and letting me on through. He always remembered me when I would show up in there, which wasn't very often, but he had a smile going and always made me feel welcome.

Dear Beth, Debbie and Tim

We are so sorry for your loss. Red was a good friend, good man, and I know from seeing you all together he was a good father. We have so many fond memories with Red that there are to many to mention, and some we may not want to mention :O) . Red will be missed by many but he will never be forgotten. We love him dearly as we do all of you. It feels as if we have lost one of our own family members. If there is anything we can do please let us know you are dear friends and we are hear for you.

To Red's family. I only met Red once for a few days on a few day pass from the military. I visited with a friend who lived there before joing the Navy. Steve always talked about Red and I can tell you I never met a nicer man. He welcomed me in Red's like I had lived there for 40 years and have to say that weekend is one of my finest memories of my military career. In keeping with the tradition of the Navy I would like to wish Red "Fair Winds and Following Seas".

Dear Beth, Debbie, Tim and Family,

It is difficult to find the words to express our feelings of loss for you, ourselves, and for everone ever blessed by knowing your dad. We have an enormous amount of respect for him; not only because of his life-long accomplishments, but also for the strong, true, friend he was to so many. At this moment, images flood my mind of Red sitting at the end of the bar, laughing, with that famous, mischievous grin of his. I will hold that, and many other memories of him close to heart.

Please accept our apologies for not being able to gather with you, your family and friends at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God lift you up and hold you near.

God Bless You All

Tommi Fentz-McTarsney
