Fred was my neighbor across the street all the time I was at home. Once he got off the bus and helped me stand when I kept falling down on the ice. It was a pleasure to keep in touch with him all these years. (I won't be 93 until January.) Not too many years ago he came back to Lafayette In for a pharmacist's convention at Purdue and came to the house for a good visit and my husband and I also visited him in his motel.. Rest in peace, Fred.

Fred was a very good neighbor to our family when he and Kathryn lived in Lumberton. They came many times to our family gatherings on special holidays.

I will always remember our visits with you in Texas and our trips to Galveston. We can't forget your trips back here to Indiana and all the places we visited with your camera ready for a good picture. I miss you Uncle Fred. I'm sending up lots of hugs and kisses for you.. Love you, Ruthie and Jim

Fred and Catherine were neighbors to Karen and me for many years on Keith Road in Lumberton. I enjoyed my interactions with Fred. He would come to our family gatherings, he and Catherine, especially on Easter. Fred had a tremendous dry sense of humor which I enjoyed very much. Rest in peace, my dear friend Fred.
