I am so sorry for your loss. Fred was truly a great friend of mine for over 40 years. We played baseball,softball, darts and golf together. He was always there when I needed his help or just hang out. I will miss him. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.

Sorry we are unable to make it to the service but we will be praying for all of you and Fred. God bless, Wayne and Katrina Golder
