I met Fred when I was building my home. He came in as a contractor and left as a friend. We relied on Fred for a lot of construction advice. He was truly a great person and strong family man.

Fred was and always will be a nice kind neighbor. He was always welcoming. When my family and I were moving into his wife's family home, I remember this like yesterday not 7yrs ago I was cleaning and slowly unpacking he came to my door and brought me a pepperoni pizza and Pepsi from pizza Hut and welcome us to the neighborhood. I never had some awesome neighbors as Fred and his loving family. It's heart breaking to know he left to go home with his mother in law but he isn't going to hurt anymore. If you or the boys need anything at all we are here for you guys and always will be. God bless and you are all in our prayers...

Shelly, Alex and Matthew,

My heart is broken for you guys. Fred was always so kind to me, always wanting to know how we were and how things were going. He always had a smile for us when we would see him. I'm so sorry you guys are going through this and I'm sorry that I can't be there for you. Please know that I'm praying for you all and I'm just a phone call or message away. All my love to you.
