My condolences for your loss. I am grateful for the time we worked together on the HOABoard. Mr Fred was a true friend. He generously shared his knowledge, wisdom and common sense. What I recall most is his deep love of God and our discussions on how to live our life in Christ. I miss seeing him casting a line in the lake early in the morning and fussing when the lake took his favorite lure. He bore suffering with grace and courage. A tue gentleman. May he rest in peace in the embrace of the Savior he deeply loved. May God bless Sue and the family with consolation as they grieve their loss.
