Our (step) father Fred was a kind hearted and generous man, easy to befriend, like and love. His life was always in the details. He valued everyone he knew, everything he owned, everything around him.
The greatest joys in his life were family and his excellence as a son, husband, father and grandfather were immeasurable. His love of family was so strong that he took on the immediate responsibility of three step-children and help raised them as if they were his own. There was never a distinction made between the five of us, no one was ever deprived of his love or attention. He was always there for us 24/7 and never a disappointment. The three of us never lost sight of appreciating what he was to us, we felt the love.
Outside of family, he was a successful business man, had lots of deep rooted friendships and was a great mentor to many.
Alfred M. Mesnick "our Fred", cherished husband, father, "Pop" and friend, passed away peacefully at home on Sept 29, 2012 under a beautiful Harvest Moon. We will miss him forever.

**On February 23, 2018 our wonderful "Momma Jeannie" suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I know how much she missed her husband and how much she tried to toughen it up without him. I was proud of how she tried to manage her grief and despair; I take comfort in knowing that they are now reunited.
I totally under estimated my mom's spirit of strength and realize more now just how much she sacrificed and gave to her family. She was an outstanding cook, had the best jokes, and relished in keeping herself classy in her style, fashion and character. Loved her 500+ puzzels, her New York Times crossword puzzels and coffee. I do believe she was a very private person and didn't share many of her disappointments or fears in life. She always carried herself with dignity. I believe nothing mattered in her life more than her three children and husband Fred. We were always her top priority.
Mom thank you for all you did for me (us). I'm grateful and indebted to you. You were a great mom and in my emptiness I have learned to appreciate and value you even more. We will love you forever and ever.....Till we meet again be at peace and do not worry about us.
.........A Message From Mom .........
My darling Fred, its been a year since you passed on and the only consolation is that you are no longer suffering. Part of me has gone with you for there is a tremendous void in my life though you will always live on within me. I keep your memory with me each and every day; I miss your smile, your humor, and your long stories. As a husband and father to my children I could not have asked for a better man. I am so grateful for the forty years of a shared life with you. One day we will be together again and until then you will always be the Sunshine of My Life.
I love you forever, Jean

My darling Fred,
Today is a very sad day for me as it has been two years since you passed on. I miss you more than words can express but you are in my mind, my thoughts and my heart every day. I miss your smiles, your humor, your presence, your loving ways every minute. Life is not the same without you. Tonight Carla and I put on the video which we took in New York City with Norman, Billy, Rita and Bob in 1989 it felt so good to hear your voice and see you, it made it feel like you were here with me. I miss you so. I love you with all my heart.
Your loving wife Jean

Dear Fred,
This Sept. 29, 2015 it will be three years since you passed on. I still can't believe it. I miss you each and every day and always will. Every night I recall the good and sad times and how very much we laughed and enjoyed our wonderful years together. You always said that you had "no regrets" and had a great life together and we really did. So I live with the good memories every day and night. I was very lucky when we met and I thank God for having you in my life. You were the best husband that I could ever hope for. I love you forever and always, Jean

Four years have gone by since you passed on and yet it seems like yesterday. There is such a void in my life without you. Each minute of every day you are in my thoughts and my heart. What keeps me going is the wonderful memories of you and the 39 years we shared. I was so lucky that we met and married, but so very sad that you left so soon. I will love you forever.
