Jackie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Fred will be missed by many.
My favorite memory of Fred - camping at Forestville - we were riding, and Fred said, "I need a toddy", only I thought he said "potty". I said I did, too. When we got back to camp, and after I had used the facilities, Fred handed me a toddy. I asked what it was, and he said, "you said you needed a toddy". We laughed quite a bit about that.
Godspeed, Fred.
