Dear May, Fred Jr. & Family,
I was in absolute shock when I heard the news this morning. Fred was a gentleman and I enjoyed nothing more than standing around the store and talking with Fred.
He will be sorely missed in the motorcycle community, by Chapter 353 and anyone and everyone who knew him.
Our thought & prayers are with you all.

I am grateful for more than 25 years of friendship with Fred and May. Fred was a unique guy and a man I greatly admired. Intelligent, dependable, personable, ethical and funny. You had to be quick to keep up with Fred. The man could discuss almost any subject and probably teach you something; without preaching. I always felt good after spending time with Fred.
I'm going to miss you, brother.

I will always remember my father-n-law’s “Bellows” sense of humor and will always regret I did not have the chance to say Good-bye and tell him that I loved him. He will always be in my heart and prayers. My deepest sympathy to his son, wife and family.

May and Family,
Shocking to learn of such a loss to you as well as all of us. I am glad that Fred and I had talked at length last month and yet another great memory to keep forever. A very special person in so many ways to so many people, so we can all reflect differently about those special memories each shared with Fred.

My late husband, (Arthur Perkins)
