My brother, also a ham radio enthusiast, called and told me about Fred dying - we are all sad, because we remember sharing many meals with him - and he always had a wonderful appetite - in Halifax. I remember his kindness and crazy sense of humor. Thanks, Fred, for everything you've done!

So sad to learn of this. I've spead the word through the county hunting community. Fred had been quite active lately giving others those rare VA counties and helping others out. He was the one who initially got me interested in county hunting back in the 1970s when I lived in Lynchburg, and through that he had hundreds of radio friends throughout the country. We'll miss him.

Blake and I would like to let you know how sorry we were to receive the news today from Shannon that Fred had passed away. We have such fond memories of the good times we had on Huntingwood Blvd. Fred always had a smile on his face and he always seemed to get such a kick out of the silly things that we all use to do over there. I always think of him with his floppy hat and his guitar singing that song he made up when the Buswells moved. I really do need to send you a copy of the picture that we have that we took of him that night. I am not good with the computer but I will try to get a copy made for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Debbie and Blake Scott

Having met Fred only recently, and that for only a very few minutes, I quickly came to like him a lot and strongly hoped to get to know him better and share more time with him. My deep disappointment at that not being possible only hints at the severe sense of loss that his family and others who knew him longer must be feeling, and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Try to remember that Fred has earned his “Peace in the valley”, and we will all be with him again in a better time and place. Peace....

Rest in peace Fred. Fred's life overlapped mine in three ways. In one of my early jobs just out of college as social worker he was the state regional supervisor of social services for Campbell County, so indirectly one of my bosses. His sister, Carol Jean Fraley Laferty, lives in Morehead, Kentucky where I grew up. And for many years he and I both struggled to make a living with independent video companies. In a competitive field like video it was a pleasure to know someone like Fred who was always willing to lend a helping hand when the need arose. My thoughts are with you at this time Mary Ellen.

Please accept my sincere condolences. Fred was a first-class gentleman and superb Amateur Radio operator. He was 'one of the crew' at our radio contesting activities at NR4M. I always enjoyed chatting with Fred and found his knowledge of our hobby to be exceptional. I'll certainly miss him but know he is keying his rig with excellent CW at the right hand of God. With heavy heart, W4DF de K4EU 73 SK

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I have many great memories of Fred. He was a good man who was easy going and cared about others.
When Fred was here in Danville, he was always able to suprise us with his many talents. He saved our Christmas party with his gift of music and song; he made us laugh at his explaination of our dress code. Fred could stand up and give a great talk at a moments notice. I have nothing but pleasent memories of Fred. He surely will be missed.
