I have very fond memories of riding horses and playing with the dogs while with Uncle Fred. He was kind, and always interested in what I had to say as a child. My great grandmother would tell him to go to his room when she didn't like what he told her, and we both thought it was very funny. The family is in my prayers

I always looked forward to seeing him when I went to Union Realty with my dad. He was always welcoming, even though he probably didn't have much time for kids in the middle of a work day. Thankful that I knew him. I'm very sorry for this loss for his children and our community.

We were good buddies in 8th grade. In our health class we studied about body movement..voluntary, involuntary, and reflexive. He became Voluntary Vic and I became Reflex Robert. He will be missed by everyone. Fred was a good family man and a pillar of the community!
