I looked forward to seeing and visiting with Fred every time I went to the Ballpark. He, along with all the staff in the Sonic HomeRun Porch added to the baseball experience for the fans

Brenda, so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Words are just not adequate at a time like this. Just know that you & your family are in my thoughts & prayers..

I worked with Fred in Section 8 at the Ballpark in Arlington over five years of my 24 years working there as a Arlington Police Officer. Fred had an outgoing personality, caring attitude, and very friendly disposition. He will leave a large void to be filled at the ballpark as an usher!! Take care my friend, James Smith, Jr., aka Blacksmith.

Praying God's comfort on your family. Freddie and I started first grade at Carlton with about 5 others, and we always enjoyed him coming to the farm and talking to Woody about deer hunting.
