He was such a good man. I really learned from his teaching Sunday School Class when we went to Dora. Sis. Pat, Greg, Kandatha and grandchildren, we will be praying for you.

I remember Fred during my time at Times Record. He worked at Rhodes Chevy. He was always helpful and had a smile on his face. A great guy. Condolence to his family.

Freddy was always good for a laugh. I remember when I was a kid watching him cut his pants into shorts while he was still wearing them before we went swimming in the rock quarry. It was so funny. I even have home movies of the whole thing. He also sold my wife her first car. We will miss you.
