He was a super generous man that we were so blessed to have in our lives. He always had a smile and a positive attitude but even more important was that he embraced and cared for people so genuinely. We missed him so much when he moved back to Louisiana but we knew it was the right time. We also know Joan was waiting for him and they are joyful together again. Fred you know how much you meant to me, Kiera and Kimberlee, we are all heartbroken but we know you are where you needed to be and that you are still watching over us. Love you so much.
