Deacon Fred and Joyce, along with their sons Joshua, Jacob and Noah, were founding members of Saint John Cathedral. Dn. Fred was ordained to the Diaconate by Metropolitan Philip on April 2, 1987. As he began to retire from his law practice, Dn. Fred and Joyce moved from their home on Monastery Drive to live in Wasilla near their son Jacob and his family. Deacon Fred was 77 years old.'As the coffin was lowered into the ground and the last prayers were being said, the sun shone over the mountain.
