He had great respect for all Military Service people. When Fred went into a restaurant he canvased the place to see if there was anyone there in uniform. If there was, he went to the cashier and paid for their meal. His last visit to Pam’s Country Kitchen about 20 Servicemen came in and he paid for all of them. Fred had an outrageous sense of humor. He was a joy to be with. He was a true, loyal friend and loved by all who knew him. He will be missed so very much by his family and friends.
