Fred was always such a joy to be around. Some of my earliest memories are of him joking around at the Jefferson family gatherings at Winfall. When I picture him, it is always with that grin on his face. I wish I could have made it to the service. I'm so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts are with you all.
