My memories of Fred are of a kind, friendly man who was always quick to smile and share a story. Even as a child, it was easy to understand why my dad thought so highly of him. Dad always spoke of Fred so fondly. Fred will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but wonderful memories of him live on.
With heartfelt sympathy,
