Fred loved the outdoors as did his father and grandfather. He enjoyed boating, fishing and hunting.
Fred was my Grand Uncle. I recall him as always smiling and fun to be around. Even at an elderly age he could fold his legs-indian style-and walk across the room. The kids loved his antics. I miss his energy and love for family. Rest peacefully Uncle Fred.
Fred died on Aril 22, 1983 at the age of 71. The cause of death was lung cancer.
