Fred loved his family. He enjoyed staying busy. It was such a pleasure for me to visit while he was tending his vegetable garden, watering his flowers and filling Reta's hummingbird feeders. His presence will be sorely missed. May memories of time shared with Fred be a consolation to all family and friends who are grieving his loss.

I admired Fred's integrity and appreciated his forthright approach to life. Our children's marriage brought us together, so we shared love of family. We also enjoyed backgrounds in railroading. We were both raised in the mountains and I understood Fred's joy when he spoke of his roots. My heart goes out to everyone who loves him.

He was truly a good man and someone I was grateful to work alongside. He was always kind, dependable, and easy to work with, and he treated everyone with genuine respect. The love he had for his wife, Reta, was clear and spoke volumes about the kind of person he was. He leaves behind many good memories and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. -

I knew Fred for a long time. He was one year ahead of me at Chattaroy High School. His brothers Larry and Ronnie were classmates of mine. Got to see Fred at the Chattaroy reunion over the years. Fred will be missed by a lot of people that attended Chattaroy Jr. and High school. Rest in peace Fred .
