Fred and Linda were my neighbors for many years. He usually had a smile and was always willing to extend a helping hand. He was usually found sitting in his recliner, watching football or NASCAR races. After my husband died, he and Linda were both a great support. He will be remembered fondly.

Fred was a generous caring wonderful man who helped me out of tough situations more than once. One phone call and he was there for me. I will never cease to be grateful to him for all he did for me. You will never be forgotten dear friend, as you still reside in my heart. Hope they have m and ms on the other side!
