Martha, Billy, and family, I am sorry to hear about Fred´s passing! He came up a few weeks ago to buy Rawlegh salve and he came back the next day to get one for himself, he gave Brad the first one. I didn´t invite him in because of Covid. He looked the same as he did 20 years ago! Love you all.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family at this sad time. Fred was a great friend, a good man and a joy to be around and get into some good conversations. I first met him when I worked in sales at Fuquay Pontiac and he always loved to talk about old cars and trucks many of which he owned and took great pride in. With Fred you definitely knew where he stood on things, that's for certain. We will all miss Fred very much. God Bless all the family and hold you close in comfort and care.
