I am one of Fred's cousins that grew-up with him, his brother Braden and his Mother, Dad and Grandmother. I am 5 years younger than Fred so when he gave me boxing
lessons when I was about 14, I was more a live boxing bag than I was a boxing opponent. I remember vividly when Fred returned home from the service in 1958 with Erna and their two daughters.
I moved from Texas when I graduated from college so I only saw Fred occasionally when I returned home to visit with my Mother, brothers and sister.
I am so sad for Fred's family and send my love and condolences to each and everyone.. I just learned of Fred's passing today so there is no way for me to get to Pearland for the services which are tomorrow. I know God will be with Fred, he was a great guy.
