Fred was a great mentor and friend. Grew up with Marie and Benton in 4-H. Andy and Ben are very special people. My sister Donna said thanks for Maggie Mae, a very special Genetics heifer and condolences to the family
I am so so sorry for your loss. Fred made an immense impact on my life, being a new nurse, he reminded me every day why I decided to become one. I am thankful for the stories he shared with us, the countless laughs he gave us, and I will always cherish him calling us ‘kid’ at the times we needed that kindness most. “Thanks Kid”. May God bring your family peace during these times and remind you of how much Fred loved you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. I met Fred a few times when I found him to ask about the family tree. My relative was Mary Hazlett,who was the daughter of Matthew and Catherine Hazlett.. He was so nice and we talked for hours. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
