Fred proudly served his country for 2 years in the United States Army and was stationed in Vietnam. When his service ended, he returned home and went to work full-time at Ford Motor Company where he retired after 35 years.
Fred was lovingly known as Dad, Pops, Uncle Fred and Papa T. by so many. He loved his family and friends unconditionally! His ability to make one feel welcomed and loved right away was a true gift!
Many of his favorite pastimes included spending time outdoors camping, feeding and watching birds, or watching the kids and grandkids play their respective sports!
He also passionately supported all University of Michigan and Detroit professional sports.
