Mary, I have many fond memories of Fred. He was always a bright light and a delight. You were so fortunate to have found each other; I'm so sorry that you could not have been together longer.

Fred..you will be missed I sure enjoyed pickin' with you and your banjo pickin' as well. I am sure that a Dusty Fanny Ranch is in heaven and you are the ranch foreman. I remember you showed up at our PickN'party with a fresh salmon caught earlier in Canada. ever since people asked if you were going to show up again. Rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to Mary and the family. Fred was a dear friend and supporter back in the days of the Geezerpaloozas. A great guy and always a smile and a joke. Hope he is in fishing and horseback paradise!
