From one Heaton lake kid to another RIP Fred. Prayers and peace to the Cothard family. Joann Hoke Cramer

Thoughts and prayers for all the family and friends. Luv ya, Robert George

We watched fred from paper boy to high school football, a great person to knpw.

My deepest condolences to Fred's family and friends. Although I never met Fred, he and I are in the same tribe. And I have to say, Fred just set the gold standard, for all of us, on how to live and die. Such a long, long time to be gone And a short time to be there

So very sorry to hear of Fred's passing. He was one of the good kids from Heaton Lake. Our sympathies to all the family and friends.

I cannot help but think someone who loved the Grateful Dead universe as Fred apparently did would consider the circumstances of his transition to be perfect -- dancing with a loved one to the music he loved among his tribe. May his memory forever uplift.

Fare thee well Gonna leave this broke down palace On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll Make myself a bed by the waterside In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll In a bed, in a bed By the waterside, I will lay my head Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul

My condolences to friends and family.
