For the last few years Fred had been dealing with several complications resulting in some surgery he had on his legs. From the time of his surgery Fred has been in a steady decline. Tom Fansher and I have had the opportunity to have spent some great times traveling with Fred.

Fred always had an answer or a solution to every discussion we had. We often shared a room together at car shows. Fred loved my daughters Brandi and Brittani, he often would send them gifts and triumph Shirts. I was a graduate student of the FT school of powder coating.

For neary two hours over the phone he talked me thru it. He always made time for others, whether it was for information, parts or powder coating. Fred loved this hobby.
