Not sure what to say?

Peace my friend. It has now been one year since you left us. May you live on in eternity! Thank you for enriching my life and the lives of so many others.

Fred was a great friend to me for the past 28 years in Atlanta. He was always there for me if I needed anything and I always tried to return the favor. I will greatly miss such a good friend and person.
We always considered Fred to be one of the family and our events will never be the same without him. I know that others who knew Fred, will also miss him. It was good to see all the people at the funeral and to know they also thought of Fred the same way I did. As a great friend and...

Travel well, old friend. Rest easy...
Go GATORS!

Lewie and Mozelle, Donna,Mike,Darlene and Steve,

We are so sorry for your loss with the passing of Fred. Having graduated with him, I was so glad to get to see him for a few minutes at the Christmas Eve service at church. Thought it would be a "first time" not an only, but God knows best. Our prayers are with your family in these days that lie ahead. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Over the years Fred made every effort to drop by while in Jacksonville to vist with me, Kathy, and our two sons...

Fred was a dear friend for many years and a regular guest at our annual July 4th parties in Alpharetta, GA. He shared a dry sense of humor and cutting wit that entertained many. He delighted my wife and his friend Pamela Lockwood Regan with drawn out tall tales of fantasy and "manly" adventures that he wove so well. Fred did not drink, but that did not keep him from having a good time. He would often arrive at events wearing a casual but tasteful hat of some kind. His favorite quote was...

Will miss your charm and wit at the office Fred. You were a heck of a nice guy, and a good friend to all of us. I hope that you are enjoying the Jazz Ensemble in Heaven!

Thinking and praying for the family. We love you all.

Praying and thinking of ya'll. We love you all very much.
