Frederick Allen Surridge, 61, of Scotland, formerly of Chaplin and Bolton, Connecticut, passed away Tuesday, September 17, 2013, at his home. He was born December 27, 1951 in Willimantic, Connecticut. Allen had a warm, caring, giving heart, and genuinely loved his family and friends and was always willing to help anyone in need. Allen loved fishing with his sons, riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, and spending time with family. His quick wit and dry sense of humor could always be counted on to bring laughs to all those around him. Allen is survived by his two sons, Harley and Jesse Surridge, and his former wife and good friend, Pamela Surridge. He is also survived by his parents Doris and Frederick Surridge, as well as his siblings, Linda, Steve, Harry, and Diane, as well as several nieces and nephews. He will also be greatly missed by his very dear Aunt Bobby. His family will receive relatives and friends on Sunday Sept. 22, 2013 between 1:00 and 2:00pm with a service beginning at 2:00pm at Potter Funeral Home 456 Jackson St. (Rte. 195) Willimantic. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Scotland Volunteer Fire Department EMTs. The family wishes to thank them for all of their kindness and support shown to Allen over the years.
