Gloria and family. Though we have not seen each other in many years I have never forgotten each of you. Our times together with Fred and Roger and the family was special. Fred was a kind man. May you look back at memories and found peace and blessings.

Fred and I worked together at the north campus of CFCC for around 15 years. He was always known as the toughest guard around. When I got to know Fred, he found out I was from Gastonia and we instantly clicked. We always talked about ROs BBQ and we could talk forever. My heart hurts, I understand our other guard that left years ago, Gib also passed alway last month. That makes 2 great guys that will always leave great memories in my heart. May God bless your family at this time. Ive enjoyed having Fred here at CFCC.
