I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Fred’s passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories. He was one of the hardest working men that I ever met. He loved to tease but always in a loving way. I won’t forget the breakfasts we had together and celebrating his 90th birthday. His love for God, the Word of God and his family were insurmountable . May he Rest In Peace in the loving arms of our Lord.
