Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and send you my sincere condolences. May you find comfort from God’s word at Revelation 21:3,4 and John 5:28,29. Heartfelt prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Death was not part of God’s original purpose for mankind. The first mention of death in the Bible indicates that dying was not what God originally intended for humans. At Isaiah 25:8 he tells us that he will swallow up death forever.

My sincere condolences to the Fry family. I have nothing but happy memories of working with Dave. We worked together at Peerless Pacific & RSD. It was always fun to watch & listen to Dave & fellow employees or customers banter about refrigeration or air-conditioning problems and Dave would always win ! Even if he was wrong, he still won ! Dave “always” helped me when I had a work related question and he made it fun to be at work.
