Fred was like an uncle to me. My Dad and Fred coached wrestling together and we're good friends. He was such a good person and always treated me well. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace and out of pain forever.
It was a honor to help take care of Fred at the Va Nursing home. He was definitely a character at times. His disease was a very hard one to watch. One day I ask him if he was ready for lunch he shook his head yes. Well one of his hands were touching the floor from the wheelchair I ask him to lift his arm up he did alright but not the one I needed lifted up. I said Fred not that one he said well you said to lift my arm so I did. He was funny at times. He had a smile like no other. Now he can rest easy and pain free. Rip Fred you will be missed by many. As for the family and friends of Fred I’m very sorry for your loss.

I graduated in 1990 and admired him all through high school back in 2017 I served as a security guard for va nursing home I worked night shift and I would get to work and immediately start my rounds so I could visit him we sat a few minutes here and there watching tv and I listened and hung on his every word even if I wasn't sure what he was speaking about but I always made time for him and I made sure every morning when I left at 8am to stop by and see if he was out of his room he made my time there worth it ..he will be missed by many my condolences to everyone
Fred will be truly missed by all family members and members of the community. He was a great teacher mentor and coach. The community has lost a great man of faith and commitment to family and community. Love and prayers to all the family and community who will miss him dearly. Fred, you were a great brother in
Law and the memories of you will pour from my eyes for years to come. Prayers for comfort and peace for his daughters. Ladonna and Stacy and I know his son Steven will be thrilled to see him again in heaven. God bless you Fred!
I knew Fred as a great athlete at Philip Barbour where he was a state caliber wrestler and later taught with him for many years at PBHS. He always had a smile on his face and a kind thought for everyone he came in contact with. The faculty and students all looked up to and admired him for his commitment to the school. He will be missed by all.

I was very saddened to hear of your loss of Fred. I was on the wrestling and football teams in 1969, and I looked up to Fred (Freddy) as a person who always gave 100% effort, yet was humble and kind. He was a wonderful person and a good friend to everyone, I wish I had been able to spend more time with him.
