Aunt Helen, Cousins Fred II, Leon, and Leisa my sincere condolences to each of you in reference to the passing of Uncle Fred. When I was younger, all I knew is that Uncle Fred was hard working and quiet and he loved his Family. Being with you all these past couple of weeks. I learned that Uncle Fred was a trailblazer and fought for what was right in order for others to live a better life. And he was such a humble God fearing man. Rest in Paradise, Uncle Fred

Sending my deepest sympathies to the family this is a big lost. You will be missed but never ever forgotten. Uncle Fred you will always have a special place in my heart you was the first family member I met on my journey to find my family. When you met me and my family you embraced us and let me know everything was going to be okay and you loved me...you called the rest of the family to meet me and it´s been a blessing ever since. I thank you for being a wonderful uncle and having you in my life. God bless you and I love you and miss you

My sincere condolences to my aunt and cousins. Uncle Fred was a very wise man. I did not grow up around him, but when i met him it was just like we had been around each other the whole time. I would just stare at him because him and my father looked exactly alike and it amazed me. If you wanted to know something knowledgeable uncle Fred was your man. Rest in Peace, i love you!
