My condolences to the family. Fred was indeed a very kind and giving gentleman. His love for his family was great, you could see his eyes and face beam when he would share stories about his daughters and grandchildren. He became a very huge support in my life and we had a genuine friendship that one doesn't find often. I was blessed to have known and become apart of such a wonderful man as Fred's life. With love and remembrance.....
