    The kindest neighbors we've ever known. Truly a blessing to know both of you. I had so many conversations with Fred on his projects and was amazed at his creativity and willingness to help me with anything I needed. God bless and we're always here for anything. His spirit lives on in everyone's life he touched.

    I worked with Fred from 1986 until his retirement from Cummins. He was a very talented and creative individual who was a joy to work with. I have fond memories of projects we did together. I don't think I have ever met a nicer person. My sincere condolences to his family.
