I will always remember Fred as a gentleman, a man of his word, and one of those rare people you'd seek out in a crowd. He was a man of class and wisdom, and will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

"I remember Fred as a Strong Silent Lion. His character was sound and resolute. Isn't interesting that men of his caliber need not say much to convey their standards and convictions in life. Not to mention the utmost loyalty he expressed to all who were in his circle of influence and responsibility. I shall miss him and look to continue to model my bearing with pride, respect and dignity as Fred did."

Fred was a good co-worker and friend. As a union steward, he fought the good fight to help those in need. He will be missed.
