Dear Curt, Bob, Ann and Gary,
Your father was so happy when he had you around. He looked forward to going fishing and playing pool with you. Most of all he loved having a party for the whole family.
We all talked about so many things we did when we were growing up. Christmas was a great time for him. He started putting up his "toys" four months ahead of time. We all loved him.
Fred, I will miss you.
Your sister "B" Mckee

Uncle Fred was a real unique person. He was always there for his family and friends. I will always be grateful for how much he did for my mother Beverly. Heaven must certainly be more lively with Uncle Fred, Aunt Carol and my father O.P there!

"Uncle Freddy" was always so fun-loving. He would always try to help anyone in need and shared what he had. His child-like spirit was never so evedent as at Christmas when he loved to show off his "toys." I was so glad I got to spend some time with him 18 months ago. He will be missed. God bless each of you Curt, Bobby and Gary and may you be comforted and carry on his legacy.
