Mike, David, Julie, & Paul. Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. I always enjoyed visiting with your dad. He always had time for “our” generation with that big smile and warm laugh! Will never forget when I gave him a MIZZOU license plate to replace the KU one he always had on his car. I told him he needed it so that he would have no trouble when going to the family reunion in MO. He smiled, thanked me, and told me he would take his chances and leave the KU one on! Then we all laughed! Think he told me he put mine on the old car. Wonderful memories of both of your parents! God’s peace to you all.
We are so sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. We have such good memories of spending time with your parents. Loved that smile and big hug. Talked to him just a few weeks ago–always such a pleasure to visit with him!!!
Janet Boring says…what a wonderfully kind man he was! He will be missed. Sympathy to the family.
Juli and Family-
Praying for your family reflect fondly on all the wonderful memories you have and for strength in the coming days.

The FBC family has lost one very special, very loved man. When I think of Fred, I see the twinkle in his eye, that big smile and
those big bear hugs, he loved to give out. Know he is having a wonderful reunion with Shirley. Am so fortunate to have known him.
Our sympathy to the family.
We are so very saddened by Fred’s passing. Loved him so very much! We are out of the country or I would be sure to be there! My best to Dave, Mike, Julie and Paul. You had a wonderful father and mentor for your lives. We will sorely miss him. Love to you.
