Fred had an awesome sense of humor, a great personality and a smile that brightened up any room and a heart of gold.
When Fred would enter a room there was bound to be jokes, love and laughter. When Fred played ball, he played with his heart but made sure it was fun.
In the short 20 years that Fred was here with us he made so many friends. Fred was a happy go lucky man. No matter who Fred met, he was bound to leave an awesome 1st impression. He got along with everyone he met.
