As an avid traveler Fred and his late wife June visited all 50 U.S. States. They particularly
loved Myrtle Beach, which they visited every year on their wedding anniversary in August.
as Fred always said, "the dog days of summer!" Fred will always be remembered as a great
Farm "boy" that produced lovely gardens of produce galore. He also loved reading, Country
Music, and playing checkers. He loved good food, and feeding the birds.
Graduated the "Chicken King" received a full scholarship out West, but declined
to stay on the Snowville Farm. Fred could spell, said "that's because he graduated
from Scipio High!" He excelled in all he did and will be dearly missed.
