Fred was a hard working family man who dearly loved his wife Bea and their six children. He shared a carpet installation profession with his son Larry. His work ethics were to a point of perfection. He sang in the high school choir and received superior ratings. As a family man he enjoyed camping and fishing. He was an excellent bowler with high scoring games, winning local tournaments. He loved to watch NASCAR racing and was a Davey Allison and Jeff Gordon fan. His favorite hobby was making clocks out of unique materials such as baskets, plates, and saw blades! He is survived by his six children Larry, Joyce, Kathy, William, Debbie, and Fred, 11 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren.
