I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Fred for his kindness, thoughtfulness and his visits to our office. He always had a book for me and cookies he so kindly shared. He left a lasting impression, and he will not be forgotten. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Fred was family, coworker and friend. I can rember him helping my dad cook and entertaining at our family picnics while all of the children played. I remember going to him for advice in apprentice school and lastly I can remember working with him .
The days always went fast because you worked hard and laughed alot .I know he will be missed greatly by family and friends .

Prayers and blessings to all the Compton's. Fred was a great cousin, always full of life and full of fun. As full family gathering began to lessen over the years, still Fred always showed up for the important Family events. May all his family share in some measure the peace that Fred surely now enjoys!

Cousin Fred was quite a character. Always quick witted and quick with a joke. He was instrumental in my acceptance into Local 98 for which I worked for 35 years and am living comfortably because of the great benefits they provided. He served Local 98 proudly and all the members benefited from his time in office. He will be missed!!!
