Fred was born on November 9, 1949, in Hartford, Connecticut. He married Mary Lou on July 16, 1977. They moved to Texas in 1981. Fred was a “handyman” as he would say. He had such a talent for his craft and it showed in all his projects. He never met a stranger and was loved by all. Anyone who knew him knows how funny and kind he was. He could never tell a joke without laughing in the middle of it. He enjoyed going to watch his sons’ baseball games and taking goofy selfie pictures with his daughter. He was an awesome grandfather. He would wrestle, facetime and spoil the heck out of his grandson. Fred was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, friend and will be missed beyond measure.
