He was born September 29, 1939 and would have celebrated his 75th birthday later this month. Fred grew up in the Scranton and Dan Horn Community just a few miles southwest of Cisco. He began working at an early age by hoeing peanuts and helping to harvest fruit orchards. He worked at Norvell-Miller grocery store and learned to be a meat cutter. This trade served him well thru the years at various grocery stores and meat markets. He tried some other jobs along the way: welding, owning a gas station, and working for the county maintaining roads, but he enjoyed meat cutting most and was very good at it. He was a member and deacon of Mitchell Baptist Church. He ejnoyed fishing, hunting and animals. He also loved playing 42 and Wahoo and putting puzzles together. Fred is survived by his wife of 51 years, Carolyn and three children: Lezlea, Teddy and wife Tami, Kari and husband Andy Porter. He has three grandsons and one granddaughter: Tanner, Hunter, Hannah and Payton. He has two brothers and two sisters: John and wife JoAnn of Brownwood, Lois Jones of Cisco, Willie and husband Charles of Hurst and Harvey and wife Dixie of Eastland. Along with these are nieces and nephews and many other family and friends who loved him dearly. Dad was a very content and happy man. He loved his family and friends very much and we will miss him every single day.
