I am Cathy Standish

a family member of someone we've lost to ALS,
someone who cared for a person we've lost to ALS

Tennessee


So it is in his voice, his memory we vow this … to “Stay Hopeful My Friends.”

His name was Fred Standish and he was “The Second Most Interesting Man in the World.” Why? Because his time in this world was impactful. Fred, a former Associated Press journalist, evolved his journalistic career into Public Relations and retired as an executive with a Fortune 500 company. Outside of work, Fred was a great Dad, had a wicked sense of humor and when ALS took him from our world, he found the beer light, which continues to shine. Throughout his fight with ALS Fred asked that promise to continue to be his voice. So it is in his voice, his memory we vow this … to “Stay Hopeful My Friends.”
