I remember Fred from out days at Clover Club Foods. He was a giant of a man inside and out. Again, I'm sorry for the families loss. God Bless!

I worked with Fred at Clover Club Foods in the early '80's. He was a maintenance man for the company. He was a giant of a man and had a kind heart. I only have fond memories of him and would like to pass that on to his family. R.I.P. Fred and thanks for the service to our country!

I'm sure sorry to hear of Fred's passing. I worked with him at Clover Club Foods in the early '80's. He was a bigger than life man and I sure liked him. My prayers are with his family.
