Fred was my oldest cousin. He treated me like a sister he never had. Fred would tease me to no end and make me laugh. He was best friends with my brother, Bob. Fred was 8 months older and they grew up together becoming best friends. I am sure that my brother met him at the gate and they are already up to mischief. Fred will be missed greatly by family and friends.

I wish to send my prayers and condolences to the family of the late Fred Lounds. Fred and I worked together at Consumers Energy for years and he was always a pleasure to work with and be around. He always had a way to make you laugh and we always had fun. He sold me his old house which was my first house and when I told him I was selling it, he told me "I did not give you permission to sell my house" with a smile. He will be missed. Thank you for your friendship.

Trav
I am so very sorry to learn of your dad's passing. Prayers are lifted up for you and your family for comfort and healing. Fred was so very proud of you and I have many memories of him at various ball games, cheering you on and maybe picking on you and Jason a bit. He had a great sense of humor and a kind heart.

With love,
