I served with Fred aboard the USS Greene DD 711 in Vietnam. I have thought of him often over the years and always with a smile on my face. He was a very upbeat, fun-loving person and a joy to be around. My sincere condolences to his family.
Fred was a free spirit who became a friend after our meeting while we both were serving aboard the Eugene A. Greene (DD 711). The experiences and good times we shared were many. Fred had a way of being mischievous but always good hearted and constantly making you smile. I admired his love of music and his ability to teach himself how to play. Not too long after going our separate ways from the Navy, Fred called me to ask a favor. He wanted me to look out for his niece Sally Darlene who was moving to the Washington DC area. From that point I became a 'defacto' member of the family. Fred paid me the ultimate honor by naming his son Corey Dale. I got to meet and thoroughly enjoy members of his wonderful and fun loving family. Sally and I remain close friends for which I am so greateful. Fred left us way too early but left his mark on all of us. Godspeed my friend
So sorry for this sad loss. Alive in your heart always. Please accept my condolence
