I only met Fred a couple of times when he and Lana visited Mo. Yet I remember his warm smile. He was a loving husband to my dear friend, Lana. For that I am so grateful. So sorry you had to leave this world so soon. I am sure you will always be remembered fondly for you kindness to so many.

I came to know Fred through his wife Lana, who is my life long dear friend. Fred was always cheerful and ready to offer a listening ear. He was family. My heart is heavy for Lana and her loss.

Fred was a good guy with great stories and an excellent sense of humor! I had the good fortune to work with his wife, Lana, and if SHE said he was a good guy (and she did...often) I know he was a good guy!! May God bless you as you journey on my friend!!!
