In my earlier days of youth I had a trap line with my brother Tim, catching mushrats and raccoons, skinning the hides and drying, and taking them up to Fred,s place every Febuaray to sell. Always real pleasant and nice guy. Never knew that he was a former marine as myself. Semper Fi” Bill Sterling-Hydetown
Fred was a very special man. He always had a smile, and that’s how we shall remember him. He now rejoices with our Lord, and is lovingly reunited with Michelle. Love and prayers to Shirley, family and friends.🙏💗🙏
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God’s grace and love carry you through this loss. We love you!
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out for Uncle Fred and his family. My strongest memories of him will be his hunting & handyman abilities and his unique, loveable laugh.
Sorry to hear of your loss. We enjoyed talking with”Fast Freddie” on his walks when we lived in Pennsylvania. ..A lot of things have changed since then. But”we were created for eternity. Expect changes, make adjustments”.
