Great Uncle Fred, I never forgot the last time I visited with you,back in Summer of 1983 when I had just enlisted in the USAF. You gave me some great advice that carried me though my 21 years of service and beyond. I drive through Roaring Spring every week and when I do I think of you and my grandfather and other relatives, some whom still live there to this day. RIP.

Aunt Margie and family, I'm am sorry for Uncle Fred's passing. I know he will be missed. I am thankful for getting to know him and especially when he helped me working on a piece of cypress when you both visited Dan and Helen one year. An experience that I won't ever forget. We are here if you ever need us. Love Mike

Dad was a dedicated father who wanted nothing but the best for his family. He worked diligently for over 60 years to give his family everything they needed. He will be missed; but he's not in pain anymore and has gone to a better place. We all love you Dad.

Uncle Fred (my great uncle) was someone who was always talked about with such respect and admiration. The few chances I have had to spend time with him were always a pleasure. Until we see you again in Heaven. May God give you peace and comfort during this time Aunt Margie. We love you
