I knew Fred from working together at Woodside Middle School in the mid-1980s. I remember Fred as a man who had a kind smile and took pride in making our school a nice place to teach and learn. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.

I know it's hard to lose a part of family. Your dad was so friendly when I walked passed. I know he loved to set out side and wave at anyone that wave at him. Vickie.
