Fred was always there with help whenever I needed him...and I often needed him at very inopportune times...I had him on my speed dial and he always responded...He was of great assistance and support to both me and my plant for many years...He was one of the unknown hero's of the daily battles we waged to keep things running...I am truly grateful for the help and service he provided, both professionally and personally.. I will miss the partnership...My deepest sympathy for your loss...Al Vaught

Fred was a great guy! Always had us laughing in the office. His witty remarks and big old grin will surely be missed. I always called him my birthday twin but was quick to remind him he was the older one! Rest In Peace my friend until we meet again.....

I have known and worked with Fred for over 25 years and had the pleasure and honor of being his friend. Fred ALWAYS made me laugh and I'll miss that. He was a good, good person and loved by so many people. Our O'Rourke family has suffered a great loss and we will miss him dearly. RIP dear friend.
