Fred is my great uncle, and my mom and dad would travel to visit him almost every year when I was younger. A little over a year ago I was able to introduce him to my two children at his house. He and his wife Oakie Mae have always been close to our family and my mom Maxine Block. I will always remember your kindness and how you welcomed us into your home time after time when we were in town. There are very few people you meet in life that make such an impression that Fred did to me. These past few days I have had lots of memories of him, and I pray for his family and his wife as they are suffering a tremendous loss now. We love you all and will never forget Fred, and we will all see him again someday soon. Lots of love from Ohio and we will never forget you!
