Special Note:

Mr. Ronald Edward Valasek, Esq., is the cousin of our co-founder and mother, Patricia C. Frederick. She has always had a special place in her heart for him.  They grew up together in and around the small town of Creighton, PA, where he always watched out for her.  As Joe and I grew up, he made time for and included us in many outdoor adventures.  This obituary is added as a small tribute and thank you to him for many good memories. Our sympathy to Ron's wife, Mary Rose, his son, "JR" and his wife LaRae, and their boys.

Sincerely,

G. Joe Frederick & Kelly D. Frederick and family.
