Fred served our country as an airplane machinist in World War II, serving in Algeria in Northern Africa from 1942-1945. He enjoyed excursions to Rome and other areas of Italy during this time.

Fred and "Liz" were married on June 4, 1962, in Hyannis, Mass. They bought a home in Dunedin, Fla., where they resided for the next 51 years. Friends observed that they never saw Fred without Liz, and they never saw Liz without Fred. They enjoyed taking care of their home - painting, shingling, mowing, maintaining their rental apartments, fishing, golfing and entertaining various friends and relatives from the north. Plus, they walked everywhere! Fred was a fine carpenter who also enjoyed working on small engines. Family members looked forward to October each year when Liz and Fred would come north for a two-week visit with his relatives, which number over 200. Everyone was pleased when brother and uncle and aunt were in town.
