  1. He was the best father any three girls could have ever had. I remember this one time my sister Connie and a friend Julie they both lied and said they were going to stay at each other’s houses. I’m sitting on the couch he sitting in the chair and he looked at me and he said I think I’m going to give Connie a call and see what’s going on. I knew what she was doing I didn’t say nothing. So she calls Julie’s mom and Julie’s mom said Fred they’re at your house Fred said no but at your house. That’s all it took he got in that car that’s 69 Buick and went down 31st Street and saw them walk those two girls walking with some boys and then she he grabbed Connie told her get her butt in the car told Julie getting the car and Julie said you’re not my dad he said get your butt in the car and then took each of them home I’ll never forget how he just knew something was wrong I love you Dad you are the best

  3. I will definitely miss uncle Fred, He reminded me of what my grandpa might be if he was still here with me. Fredo and I enjoyed our pedis and ice cream together. He sure loved his westerns and use to love Big Bang theory. He had the sweetest yet ornery in his own way. I am grateful for our team at Traditions taking great care of him for past two years and the private caregivers we had. I will sure miss you Fredo!

  4. Fred was our neighbor for the majority of my kids childhoods. We have a lot of stories to remember him by, but the best one was him sitting in his chair in the front yard with his pellet gun trying to shoot the pigeons that always loved his roof! He always looked out for all of us and treated my kids like his own grandchildren. Peace & Love to Christy and family.

    Love,
    Sara, Ivy, River, Daisy & Lucy
