As Fred’s son I have too many memories to name any single one. I remember his dedication, alongside his wife and our Mom, to providing my Sister and I every opportunity he could to make our childhood and future lives prosperous. You would rarely find my Dad not doing something and just relaxing. He was selfless with his time in the local community and developed countless friendships through these endeavors. He operated on borrowed time after a strenuous and miraculous recovery from a massive stroke in 1993 that should have taken his life. He never viewed this as a setback but only an opportunity to help others and his family even more. I am sharing a few photos I have of him for orhers to remember him as well.
