How can we describe our brother and uncle Fred? Words seem too limiting to cite the amazing qualities he possessed and exhibited throughout all of his life. Kind and gentle with a daunting strength. Caring and loving for all those in his life. Faithful and giving to his family, to his friends and to all whose lives he touched. Always helpful yet never too much. Happiness so contagious that no one in his presence could avoid its effect. Quite possibly the sweetest man we have ever known. We are better people to have known him for so much of our lives. May his spirit find the happiness he so richly deserves. He will always be loved.
- Dick, Desiree, Richard & Greg

While working with Kathy @ Smyrna Middle School I got to see her father many times. He was always smiling from ear to ear every time he got to see his daughter, Kathy. He was especially beaming when his wife was with him. His light was always shining and you could easily tell he and his wife were both walking with the Lord. He is now free from pain and suffering and enjoying his new life eternally in heaven with his wife and our heavenly Father. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless you all. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you the strength you need during this time.
