I am so very sorry to hear of Fred's passing. We attended the First Baptist Church together for years. Freddie was always such a friendly guy, always reliable, just a warm spirit. Elaine was always at church too, playing the piano, and I will always remember them both very fondly as they are an important memory of my younger days in West Jefferson. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Dear Karen and Jim,
Sorry to hear this sad news. We are south at this time so we are unable to visit or give you a hug. At this time. We remember living next door when Freddie was a little tyke. We so enjoyed the friendship of both Freddie and your Mom in the "early" days.
Please accept are prayers and condolences.
God Bless , Gene and Barbara.
