Fred was a GREAT MAN, a GREAT family friend for many years. Our family has known Fred for 60 years. We camped, drank, and fixing our cars (even though there were extra parts), played cards all the time. He will spend his life with pat (his wife) and ALL his friends and Family now. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED!!!!

I went to work for Fred in my teens when my car I was driving illegally broke down on Monona Dr. & I meet him & to reduce the cost of repair I helped work on it/ Then I told him I would work for him & he could pay me whatever he thought was fair, that I just wanted to learn more so I could open up my own shop some day & when I did he said I'll be damned you did it / But not without his Help / R.I.P Fred I will miss you
