Re: Very sad day
That is VERY bad news. Prayers for Liz and the family. He and Cake were my mentors at my first Hemi race in Vegas. Super nice guy and we had some great times. He will be missed by his D4 family. Stephen

Re: Very sad day
"Friendly Fred" as he was commonly known by many friends and customers alike was a long-time dear friend and mentor to me after high school' he taught me how to sell cars at a local car dealership back in 1978 which he was VERY good at but most importantly Fred was a Christian, and a man that would express his faith in the Lord publicly . I will remember all the good times and laugh and smile in your honor buddy . RIP Friendly Fred

Re: Very sad day
Fred was a great friend. He and Liz went out of their way to help me when I was sick at Indy one year. Just spoke with Fred Feb. 23. I will forever remember that phone call. RIP Fred.

Re: Very sad day
I am very sorry to hear this terrible news.
With much thanks to Fred, I got to start racing in Stock in 2018 when I bought his 2016 Cobra Jet from him. He told me "you're going to have fun in this car" and he sure was correct. I enjoyed touching base with him each year on how things were going. Prayers for him and to his family.

Re: Very sad day
Freds most memorable trait to me was his positivity. I talked to him a few times after he found out he had cancer. He knew what was likely to happen, but he was totally upbeat about it, and said he was gonna keep on fightin, and working on his cars. He was one of my first customers, and we became good friends. He always kept busy doing something. He got interested in guns, and went all in on that for a while. That was his deal. When he did something, it was all in.
I had a video on my phone once of him firing off a gun of some sort, it was like Rambo in real life. He will be missed by all. cw |
