Fred was family as far back as I can remember he would come to our house either Friday or Saturday night for dinner and a movie. He was one of the most influential and supportive people I ever knew, thanks Fred for all your love. From vacations, ministry trips and chocolate cheesecake you are loved and will be missed. See you soon! Lonnie Snow

Fred was our family auto caregiver for over 30 years. He would patiently explain to anyone, and would not fix something unless it was broken. His legacy of excellent and honest service lives on in Jake, and his sweet spirit reflected the God he served!

When I was a cashier at the Merc for several years, he would come in nearly every evening. He would always come through my line if he could. We had several nice chats, and he'd always brighten my evening. That was nearly a decade ago. I was able to see him one night when I happened to be shopping late in the past year, and I was so pleased to see that he was there. We spoke for a short while, and I was so pleased that he was still as kind and friendly as ever. I'm thankful I got to know him.

Fred was as kind and honest a man as you will find anywhere. He was my go-to mechanic for years and always gave sound advice and excellent work. He was also a real pioneer in the world of drag racing. Lawrence is diminished by his loss. Rest in Peace Fred,

Having worked in and around Freddy for over 13 years, one gets to know him quite well. This man was the symbol of dedication, when it came to his work ethics, to his friendship, to his love for the Lord Jesus Christ. I have had the privilege to be one Freddy's friends for over 40 years. Knowing how he loved the Lord, I can only say that Freddy is not resting in peace this day, he is bowing in the presence of the Lord God Almighty, as he brings his praises before the Throne of God, and will continue to do so, for an eternity. In heaven there is no rest, there is only praising and worshiping to the One who has paid the price for all of mankind to be able to be where Freddy is today. Miss you friend. GT

To the family and friends of Freddie, what a kind and gentle soul he was, I can't still hear his laughter and see his smile.
As a businessman he was always fair and honest, he took the time to explain what needed to be done to your vehicle.
He was one of a kind. Rest in Peace my dear Brother.
