Not many are lucky enough to experience the love of a grandparent much less a great-grandfather or a great-grandparent. But our family is blessed to have loved and be loved by Fred/Pawpaw. He loved his wife and his family with all he had. He enjoyed traveling around the world with Betty and enjoyed getting to know people. He was kind, patient, and honorable.
He was proud of his daughters and many grandchildren and the accomplishments that they achieved. He lived a perfect example of what a husband, father, grandfather, and Christian should look like.
