Fred was such a larger than life man. I will always have such great memories of the road trip he let me "tag along" on with him and Robin. I loved picking on him and his dry sense of humor. May he rest with grandmother. Prayers for Rochelle, Robin & David and all of his family.

Fred wanted everyone to think he was a real tough guy, but if you knew him he was just a big ol Teddybear with a heart of gold.
He will truly be misses but forever in our hearts and memories. All my love to the family!
