So sorry to read of Fred’s passing. Long time memories of all the cooking he did for various groups (one for a Pilot Club dinner at my house). You all had wonderful trips together and those memories will last you forever. Know that you have a friend in me if you are in need. Sincerely, Joan Edwards

Fred was one of a kind, always full of energy and ready to have fun. His expertise with kids was valued by teachers at VBHS and parents at CCOVB. His willingness to share his adventures and life experiences inspired everyone. Rest in peace, friend. May your family be comforted by the many friends and family who share your loss.

Fred was a beloved volunteer with the Guardian ad Litem Program for almost 7 years. He advocated for countless abused, abandoned and neglected children in our area. His love and care will leave a beautiful legacy in the lives of children whom he helped find safe, loving, and permanent homes.
Life well lived Fred! We are grateful that we got to know you. We are in your debt.
