I grew up in Del City back in the 60's and 70's. I remember how Joiner's Jewelers helped sponsor so many school activities. It was where we got our class rings, too. With his service in the Legislature and the sponsorship of Del City events, he was such a great part of the community. I just wanted to thank the family and let them know how he touched so many lives.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I am so blessed to be able to say I known Fred as a patient of my while I was working for Dr. Morgan. Fred was one of the best patient I could have asked for. I can not recall a time that he was not smiling and he always had something nice to say. Fred will be greatly missed.
