Fred was a co-worker of mine at the Tarrant County District Attorney. I was saddened to hear of his passing. He will be missed by all his friends and family.

I have said "my cousin, the Fort Worth Police Officer..", many times, in admiration of his chosen profession as well as his candor.
I share his love of the outdoors; hunting & firearms.
Love and comfort to all who were loved and comforted by this honest man.
