Tara and Joey, please accept my condolences for your lost. Fred was a very good man and was respected by a whole lot of people.I admired him and we chatted several times about his USMC days and my USAF days. He was very knowledgeable about hunting around the surrounding woods and always believe in justice. I felt like he was like a brother and will miss him a great deal. If Joey or yourself ever need anything do not hestiate to call Celeste or I. I believe Celeste is closer to you then she is to her brother and sisters and would do anything to help you out. My Prayers are with you and Joey but I know that Fred is in a better place with Paul and Cody. God Bless.
