I've had the good fortune of knowing Fred for 14 years and he will truly be missed by our family and the entire Moorpark commuity. Cathy and the girls were blessed and must be very proud in having a Father and Husband like Fred. I will never forget your excitement while coaching third base for us during the 14 and under all star game back in 1995

I am so sorry to hear that Fred lost his courageous battle with cancer. I saw Fred not long after his surgery. He was sprinting into the hospital to visit a former player who had an accident. He took my breath away. He had his prosthesis on and was moving like he had been wearing it for years. He looked vibrant and healthy and most importantly, happy.

I worked with Fred for nearly 3 yrs back in the mid 80's at the Moorpark Post Office. He was a wonderful guy, always caring about others and bragging about his family. The love for them that he had was plainly seen by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of need. Remember, he's not gone, he's simply an angel on your shoulder now.

Frank and Maelyn Arrasmith would like to offer our condolences to Fred's family. Although we never met Fred personally, Frank's parent's, Bill and Gloria have shared many wonderful stories of Fred's humor and of his courage, and also of what great friends Fred and Cathy were to them. We know that these special stories will be passed down through the family and he will continue to live through them. Sincerely, Frank and Maelyn Arrasmith, Columbia, MD.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
