Riverside National Cemetery

Thinking of you today and so thankful for your contribution to my life and our nation. Thankful we’ll all be reunited in heaven and an eternity to serve our Lord! 

Thank you Fred for your service to our country and God’s Kingdom. You were a faithful Godly man and a mighty warrior. You touched lives in your journey and impacted those you influenced. I know you are in the cloud of witnesses cheering on your beautiful bride, Renee, and the rest of us. Until we meet again on streets of gold and dancing for God’s glory.  You are dearly missed <3 Lorena

Fred was a Godly man! A man’s man.  But he was also loving and kind.  He loved people and cared for others above himself.  I remember, as his wife, many times he was prompted to help someone financially, when we really didn’t have it to spare.  But I didn’t mind.  And Jesus always took care of our needs.  Fred served also in Royal Rangers, a Christian boys organization.  Many men and boys were helped, changed and blessed by his devotion, dedication, and example.  We we’re married 39 wonderful years and I miss him every day!  I’ve not met many like him.  He will live in our hearts and minds forever!  

He was always a loving man.  Always reaching out to others.  Generous and kind.  He was a Godly man in the true sense.  I was married to him for 39 years and they were the best years of my life!  He worked with a boys organization called Royal Rangers.  Their goal was to reach , teach and keep boys for Jesus Christ.  I miss him every day!  

Thank you for your service. Your constant willingness to help others and your unwavering Godly character were a true inspiration to me. You didn't just talk the talk; you walked the walk. Your integrity and strength were a beacon of encouragement.

I miss you deeply and wish you were still here with us. As I said when we laid you to rest, "I'll see you soon. Love you, brother."


I miss his strength of character; his joyful nature ; his love and care of others, even to his own hurt; his integrity; his love and devotion to me!!  I miss my husband every day !! We were married 39 yrs. And they were the best days of my life!
