I went to school with Fred we had a lot of good times together. He was fun to be around. I lost contact with him after school when we all go a seperate ways. I always new he would do well in life. He will be missed by his family and all those who knew him.

I know you don't know me, but I went to RBHS with Fred, class of '64. He was a gentle, kind man, and I have fond memories of him. He always had a cheery word and good humor to share. Please accept my sincere condolences.
