To know Fred was to love him. He always had a line of jokes that kept you wanting

More. He was a cherished husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

A proud lifelong member of the Albany community. He was a 1958 graduate of

Scipio High School in Harrisonville, Ohio. Fred served nearly 50 years as a committed

Member of the Eastern Star, holding many offices in the Albany Chapter #558, and

The Harrisonville Chapter #255. He was also a lifelong member of the Masonic Lodge #411,

In Harrisonville, as well as Albany Masonic Lodge # 723. He was a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite

Mason. Fred was also a very active member of the Shriners Aladdin Temple, and

Athens County Shrine Club.

As an avid traveler Fred and his late wife June visited all 50 U.S. States. They particularly

Loved Myrtle Beach, which they visited every year on their wedding anniversary in August.

As Fred always said, "the dog days of summer!" Fred will always be remembered as a great

Farm "boy" that produced lovely gardens of produce galore. He also loved reading, Country

Music, and playing checkers. He loved good food, and feeding the birds.

Graduated the "Chicken King" received a full scholarship out West, but declined

to stay on the Snowville Farm. Fred could spell, said "that's because he graduated

From Scipio High!" He excelled in all he did and will be dearly missed.

Special shout out to Kyle and Jennifer and kids Riley and Jessica Wagner.
