    Fred Dunn was a good man. He lived a life that you could pattern your life by. Hard worker he led by example. My life was benefited by knowing him at Tunnelton HS and then being able to visit and reacquaint when I moved back to Lawrence Co and we could visit frequently at Ace. Always, always positive and supportive. Genuinely interested in others, putting others before himself. We pray that God puts good people in our lives and in the lives of our children to help and influence us. I know my mom prayed that prayer and that prayer was answered by a few individuals. Fred Dunn was one of those answered prayers. Prayers are with you, the family. You were very fortunate to have a father like Fred.
