Fred L. the Great Fred L. the Great, has left his mate, and numerous posterity, To join his noble ancestors, beyond the tideless sea, Where Springtime is forever, and skies are always blue, And now his work is finished here, he's passed the ball to you, To carry on his legacy, and be all you can be, Not only for this lifetime, but for eternity.

Yes, Fred L. the Great has been called home to answer the roll call there, And we know you will miss him, and all he had to share, But he'll be up there waiting, with open arms and love, To share with you and his sweetheart, of whom he's fondest of, And what a glad reunion, beyond this veil of tears, You will find there waiting for you in just a few short years.

With love and sincere sympathy in the loss of your dear father, grandfather, great-grandfather, patriarch and friend, Fred L. Buhler. Uncle Jim and Aunt Betty Lee
