Even though I knew Fred was battling a tough illiness, I was deeply saddened to hear about his death. His passion for clean, effective, fiscally-responsible government in his community of Franklin was undeniable. I respected his willingness to stand up for and vociferously express his convictions. I extend to his entire family my deepest sympathies and wish them all the very best.
