Fred worked in building supplies for Burchill’s and then Lockhart’s Beaver Lumber until his retirement at 65 years old. He was an avid guitar player and was a member of several bands throughout his life, jamming and playing for local benefits and events. His love of playing guitar carries on in several of his children and grandchildren.
Fred also enjoyed fishing, hunting, birding, and woodworking. He could be found at the local weekend farmers markets selling his handcrafted boxes and birdhouses.

Fred’s family would like to offer special thanks to the nurses and staff of Brennan Court, Losier Hall for their exceptional care.
