I just found out from my sister about Fred's passing. I am living in Texas now. I did not know he was sick. He was a good friend and our best man at our wedding, Dec. 1959. I tried to contact him before we moved, but no luck. My wife and I have been having some health problems and our son Tom moved us into his house here.
Sorry Linda.

My heart is heavy with the news of Mr. Fred . He not only was a great customer but we became friends. I will always cherish the Bible’s he made for Jason & I . I will definitely miss our talks when he brings the pups. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers for the days to come.

Linda, Paul and John: Our sincere sympathy to all of you. Fred was a good man. We remember so well our trip with him on Rising Son Choir. In fact, there are many happy memories of our times at Eastside Baptist. He raised three fine young men that are tributes to him. May God comfort you during this time.
