He was an employee of Roger Mills County as a Road Grader and Cat Operator for more than 30 years while also carrying on his farm and ranch operations.
He always had time to say a friendly hello to everyone he met. He was a wonderful husband and father and a doting grandfather. He always helped anyone in the community who needed help and in return his neighbors were always quick to help him. His family and friends were almost his whole life.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Besides his beloved wife of the home he leaves to mourn his passing, his two daughters, 2 sons-in-law, 5 grandchildren, 2 brothers and a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.
The Minister said at the service that Fred liked every one and every one in turn liked Fred. The large crowd at the funeral seemed to prove that. A loved one from our midst is gone, a voice we loved is stilled, a place is a vacuum in our home that never can be filled.
