Love you Fred! I am so glad I got to spend those last two days with you at the hospital. I especially value the one hour that just you and I had together talking, laughing and holding hands. You lived your life with such joy and enthusiasm,with no complaints even at the end. The love you had for your world was amazingly contagious and you lived every day as it was the last. As life moves on I want you to know you will never be forgotten. Lauren Baker
I enjoyed the good times and I will never forget your voice. I enjoyed going to the service source dinner dance with you. You would always make me laugh and make me smile. I enjoyed helping you out at lunchtime at the cafe. I also enjoyed it when I would fix up your lunch for you and get you everything that you needed. I enjoyed it when we would play the song I got you babe by sonny and Cher. When I play it I will always think of you. I liked it when you would always call me sweetheart, baby, honey and all those other names that you called me. Youv always meant so much to me and you will always be in my heart. I also enjoyed it when we would exchange gifts at my birthday, your birthday, Valentine’s day and christmas together. I enjoyed talking to you on the phone and sending emails to each other. I enjoyed calling you my sweetheart, my baby, my honey and my everything. I enjoyed it when you would always worry about me when I was late to work. I enjoyed it when I would always take your trash and throw it away for you. I also enjoyed it when I would take your lunch tray back to the dishes for you. I will miss you so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Catherine
Fred was a great person and I know our lives will never be the same without him. I could never find a better and more caring friend. He has left us with so many wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever. May God’s peace be with his family and friends. Cherish the memories you created with Fred. I will always remember him for his caring and loving nature. Rest in peace, my friend!

A candle was lit for the decedent.
Fred Was like a Brother to Me
I knew Fred for years through the Vienna Ayr Hill Lions Club. He was a faithful member and enjoyed the meetings and events we had Sadly the club had to dissolve and we lost touch. He will be remembered for what he accomplished. One thing, he always recognized your voice. Jean Meyer
This gentleman had the biggest heart of GOLD in the world. I love him and will miss him forever. I knew him all his life and you could’ve never known a better and sweeter person. I was his big sister and rock and roll buddy in Florida. I can’t count the memories we had together.
May the family find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is “close to those that are broken at heart; and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces” (Isaiah 25:8). With deepest sympathy. For more scriptural encouragement, visit jw.org.
Fred, we were so shocked to learn of your passing! My mom, Betty Appel, drove you to Mass at OLGC once or twice a month for years, and was sorry that she had to stop after her stroke in 2009, which took away her ability to drive. Regrettably, we lost touch after that. May you soar with the angels and enjoy all the spectacular sights and sounds in Heaven. Rest In Peace, Fred, and may your family & friends find comfort in knowing you are safely back Home. Love and prayers, The Appels- Sue, Betty, Jeff & Nick
Folks know how Fred liked to tell stories and jokes. He loved radio, sports broadcasts and did good impressions of famous persons.
Fred’s ears and voice were finely tuned instruments in relationships.
We knew some people in common, one of them the late Bob Lawton, for years a paratransit driver for persons with disabilities. Fred was one of Bob’s riders and friends. One year Fred recorded a cassette of rock and pop songs for Bob, deejay style.
‘Grateful for having known Fred through his long time friend and sports buddy, John Scroggs, and John’s wife Anne.

I remember Fred as someone who started out as my then fiance’s good friend who became part of our chosen family. Two joyful memories stand out among many. The first is Fred’s absolute joy in catching the garter belt at our wedding. We remember this joy yearly when watching the video. The 2nd was when we placed baby Keith on his lap. His pride and joy in his “little buddy” extended into Keith’s preteen years. Fred was grateful for every moment you gave him and every bite of food he put in his mouth. His “Fairfax Family” will miss him dearly. John, Anne, and Keith
