Doomed to Hear What They Said About Him After four years on the battlefields of France, all he wanted was to take his rightful place as eldest brother and favored son. He was destined, he supposed, to lead an educated life followed by a rewarding career, a wife, possibly children, and most assuredly blissful Ontario summers at his family's summer resort. He'd served his country - now it was time to reap his reward! But Fred's darn head kept getting in the way. Anxious and uncertain, every sound scaring the hell out of him, this WWI veteran struggled to fit in to a society that had left him behind. People were the worst. Disagreeable, intolerable, and downright rude. Even Fred's family was conspiring against him. It wasn't fair. He deserved a good life. Why didn't they mind their own damn business and leave him the hell alone? 1986. Fred Sadler is dead. In a peculiar, unsettled state his being travels - tethered, somehow, to his loathed sister-in-law, Viola, as she goes about arranging his funeral. He can't be alone in wondering what people will say at the funeral. Don't we all wonder that? And he needs to know what his father was thinking when he locked Fred up in that insane asylum! The ghost of Fred Sadler thrashes with fury as Viola relates her misleading version of events. This is not the story he would tell if anyone would listen. Is it too late? Can he impart the truth even as he's fading behind the veil of death? Will the tortuous resentments that clouded Fred's life follow him into eternity? A stirring family drama. Fred's Funeral reminds us of ancestors we've almost forgotten and may have left behind. It's never too late to remember.
