Fred was a well-known local business owner and lifelong resident of the north country. He had an unrelenting optimism and fun-loving nature that brought smiles to everyone around him. Fred was known for his witty remarks and tasteful sarcasm. He always had a love for motorcycles and classic cars
and spent his younger years racing both. He was a great dancer, enjoyed old tunes, and played guitar. He loved life, lived simply, and enjoyed spending time with his family.
