Fred William Britton Jr.

It still saddens me that the fantastic Fred is no longer with us. He was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. I pray all of his family and friends are all well.

Here´s hoping Fred and Jimmy Buffet are sharing a margarita in that "one particular harbor"!

Fred Britton was my Physical Education teacher when I attended and graduated from First Colonial High School in 1972. He was also an assistance football coach, part of the team Head Coach Frank Webster had assembled - and in those years, First Colonial was a powerhouse football team and made it to the state championships about 3 or 4 times.

It saddens me to have read that Fred is no longer with us. My deepest sympathy to each of you. All that I read in Fred's obit speaks volumes about this fine gentleman.

God Bless his loving family and help each of you in this time of sorrow.

JT and I will always cherish the upgrade rooms we had at Brit’s Faculty Mansion from our Moss Hall Senior Dorm. Time to start real JOBS and you began your Legend Run for 42 years at...

Fred was a special person. A good coach. Most of all a good example for all the students he taught.
