Three Years since Fred's passing. In my mind his high ideals and good deeds keep his memory so strong that it was like just a few days past. I think being remembered well is such a great goal of life. So you could say I honor him in that way.

Fred was the great communicator and historian for the Arma area, for his family, relatives, friends, and even acquaintances. He was a lover of antiques collected along life's way. Most importantly was his love for people and his vast knowledge of all kinds of details about a wide range of subjects. He left us all with memories which will last the remainder of our lives. Godspeed Fred. Our hearts are with Aunt Molly, Greg and David and their families.

Greg and Tracey, What a loss. Thanks for letting me spend a few fun minutes with Fred at Alamosa, CO. I am sure if he and I spent much time together we would both be in trouble. My deepest sympathy, my prayers are with you. I could tell he was proud of you and I am glad he got to see his granddaughter do well. Take care my friends.

This man was a very moral and dedicated pillar of the Arma American Legion for years and years. His passing is a real loss for us Legionnaires and the whole community as well. It would take a very long writing to really express the sadness of this loss his worth.
