Mary and sue, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet dad. I can tell
You for sure that he will never be forgotten. His jokes will live on in me and LOTS of people, i’m sure! I’ll miss that smile, that laugh and the weekly kiss on the cheek. You always made me feel like one of the family, I so looked forward to our chats. I am the lucky one. The world is better because Fred lived in it. “86 is a good number” he’d always say. I know you’d all give anything for 86 more and honestly so would I. I’ll miss you Bunce! As we’d always say “be good” watch over that wonderful family. You did good my friend. Just look at Mary and Sue and the dedication they gave you. That says it all. I’m thinking of you ladies and of everyone that loved Fred. With love: Trish
P.S. Don’t forget your scuba gear 😉 ❤️

There are no words to express the pure joy of being in Fred’s company. The earth has a bit less joy but heaven is sparkling with that smile of his.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. What a wounderful soul.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Fred Bunce. He was a true angel on Earth. Anytime he ever showed up we were all the better for it. I am especially appreciative of the support he showed the Monument Mt. Boys Basketball team for so many years. One of the highlights of this past season was the chance to always go over and fist pump Fred and tell him thanks for his support. He was a gem of a person and will be hugely missed.
at 8:00 pm
Dear Mary, Sue and the rest of the Bunce family, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Freddie. Having had the privilege of working together for 20 years, I can honestly tell you it was a absolute joy to be around him everyday. I have great memories of having so much fun at work with Freddie. We laugh and joked around constantly, maybe too much for being at work. But the most important thing i gained from working with Fred was that he made me a better person. He always stressed to do the right thing and treat people the way you wanted to be treated. I will cherish my memories and I hope the have a big dance floor up above, I know you’ll be the first one out there. God Bless

Wonderful guy. Fred was our chaperone when the Monument Mountain band went to Texas. He was one of many seniors who rooted for the boys and girls basketball teams. The senior section would always help the referees when their call went against Monument! He had an infectious laugh that always made you feel great. .It was so great to see you at UMASS at the boys sectional and talk to you. You’ll be missed!

so hard to say goodbye to this bonny, bonny boy. dear Fred, we barely knew ye lo these 10 years back at home but oh what an amazing go’er of a gent you were. such a gentle man with just a the right amount of rascal thrown in for good measure. Freddie was a sight to behold on the dance floor. he’d grab a dolly and give her a whirl she’d never forget. short or tall, big or small; didn’t matter to Fred. he just loved to dance. thanks for the memories. rest well, dear one.

Mary, Susan and entire family:
It is with sadness to learn of your fathers passing. The loss of a parent is a loss of the most basic relationship. We have fond memories of our relationship with him; his smile and humor; his love and pride of family; his genteelness.
As we think back, what strikes us also is that he built relationships. Relationships that not only accounted for his extraordinary success in business, but, if one knew Fred, you knew everyone that he knew. He made everyone feel special and welcomed.
We will miss him.
With our deepest condolences,
at 5:22 pm
Deepest sympathies to Mary, Sue and your families. Your Dad was one-of-a-kind. Always upbeat and so personable. Used to love seeing him out dancing the night away with his daughters! Peace to you all and heartfelt sympathy.

Mary, Susan and ALL of Fred’s family – It was always such a pleasure to be in Great Uncle Fred’s company – buying a car, chatting in the grocery store, on on the street, at the WSBS Sounds of Summer concerts (where Fred was ALWAYS dancing!), but especially at our wonderful extended family reunions! He set the highest bar for honor, integrity and kindness. What a great person! He will be sorely missed, and often remembered.
With fond memories, Julie (Markham) & Steve Hannum
