Fred worked as a volunteer for a prominent Congressman who addressed him as "Charlie"and for fun, I would do the same -when I thought of it. He had an outstanding work ethic and was proud of his Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, but his greatest passion was the love of his family esp. his grandkids. Asked to describe Fred? Easy. 2 words. Nice guy.
