Fred was classmate and friend of SMH `66. I always remember his great smile, laugh and pleasant personality. So sorry for your loss Gidget. Memories from class reunions. You and family will remain in my prayers.
RIP Fred.

Fred was my guitar teacher for 5/6 years. He was a great teacher a great friend and a great guy all around. He was very funny and had a laugh that is unforgettable with the sense of humor to go a long with it.
He had patience and understanding and was a awesome guitar player.
This really saddens my heart and I send prayers for his family.
May your talents now teach the angels as you will be forever missed.
RIP my teacher and my friend. Love to all

I met Fred at sawmill creek, Fred treated everyone with kindness and respect. That meant a lot to a young guy just starting out in life

I did not know Fred personally but I will always remember the fun times we had together watching the Margaretta girls basketball games together. He always attended the games when his son Eric coached at Margaretta. May God bless his family at this very difficult time.

Fred was a unique person and musical Mainstay in the Sandusky area. Why must we lose all of the good people we treasure and think they will all be around Tomorrow? Let them know what they mean to you today.
