For that day in July 1995 my good friend once said "Let them laugh at my boat know" as he went on to write his resume that day with a big win. Fred I hope you're bringing joy to those up there with great fishing and stories as you did for me!!!!!!! Remembering you on this day 5 years later

Family of Fred Morrow: Homer and I have so many fond memories of our friend, Fred from very long ago. Homer has his memories as far back as North Shore and I have memories of West 26th Street. His grandmother had a two story apartment there and when he visited her , we would play. I think we were 5 or 6 years old. Also, he and Homer ran into each other in Ft. Sill, Ok. When they were in the Army. Our sincere condolences go out to each of you. Love, Homer and Mary Blackman

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will never forget the memories I had chasing those "REDS" in the river with Captain Fred.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I pray that I may live to fish...
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to
my last cast
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's
great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.
