So Sorry to hear of your loss. Fred along with several other members of the 37th Recon group made me an "Honorary Member" and were so kind to even invite me to several of their activities at the time. I was so honored by Fred's kindness. He was such a giving individual when it came to helping Veterans in so many ways. He will be greatly missed.
