Fred was a dear neighbor and friend. We would exchange hugs whereever we met. He helped my family and I so many times with our computer glitches, and even inspired our youngest son to pursue his career in computers. Rest in peace dear Fred. You will be missed dearly in the neighborhood. Greatest sympathy to Shannon and family.

This is such a shock, we shared a love of genealogy and he was just telling me about his newest computer. I will sure miss him and my sympathy to the family. I hope his grandson got to see him, he was so very proud of him.

Fred was the first guy i waited on when i first begin waitressing. He gave me my first tip. After that we became such close friend.
He would come everytime i work and all the female waitress would fight to wait on him. We talk about everything and he encourage me to do good in school and everything i do. I consider him as my grandfather. He was such a wonderful, sweet, and happy man. He was so carring. I've enjoy all the stories he told me and im going to miss it so much. Its not going to feel the same without him at my work anymore. I know he will be happy up there with his wife. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Fred will be missed very much sitting in the back of church. He missed Rubye so much.

I use to wait on Fred atleast once a week if not more. He was such a nice man, and treated everyone the same. He was very proud of his family and talked about hem often. He would sometimes even order more food to take to his dog. I was very sadden to hear about him but know that he is in heaven now with his lovely wife. I know that Fred lived a good life and brought joy and laughter to many other lives. My thoughts and prayers go to the family of Fred.
