Dearest Friends and loved One. I just returned home and found out about Fred.
He was a man of integrity and honesty. I remember him from my childhood and what and influence he had made on me. He was a man who took care of buisness and could be counted on to do what was right, all the time. I never heard a bad comment about Mr. Fred Montgomery, In my mind he was a great man who took good care of his family. Again my condolences, any thing I can do please call. Jimmy
