As per Fred’s request, due to outliving his friends and contemporaries no funeral will be held. Fred so appreciated the help he received from the Veterans Administration so in lieu of flowers it is requested that donations be made to Disabled American Veterans.
Fred was a member of First Christian Church. He was a dedicated husband, father and provider. He was loved by family and friends and will be greatly missed. And once again we want to thank Fred for his service to our country while serving before and during World War II.
