I was Bills pastor at Randall Road Baptist Church. He was a dedicated worker and team leader. He and Michelle along with his family were loving family. 
Ken and Carol Hendricks.

Hearing Fred's passing brings a heavy heart to many of us that have worked closely with him at JCI. Fred's work ethics and standing up to what he believes is unquestionable. His devotion to work, life, and his family is a reminder to us what is the upmost importance in life. He works tirelessly to make JCI and our customers a better place from where we started. Losing Fred is a huge loss and his character will forever be a role model for many of us. He will be missed dearly by all from JCI that have worked with him over the past 38 years. When in doubt, I often thought of what Fred Travis will do in that instance. He was my mentor at work when I started my career with JCI and has been a guiding light for me on many instances. It is very hard to see Fred gone, but he remains in our memories as a man of principle and devoted to his family. I will miss you.

Your Friend and Colleague,

Our deepest condolences to the Travis family. Fred was always ready and willing to a lend a hand. He did so even when the situation was tough, with a joke and a smile to lighten to the mood. 

We will always remember Fred; rest in peace. 

Fred was one of those rare people whose friendships went far beyond any work relationship.  He was always ready to be there for you in ways you were not aware could change your life.  There were many of these times for me, but two in particular come to mind: raising children, and standing behind a friend.  It was clear that Fred adored his family. He once told the story of how he was heading to the family's favorite restaurant, Red Robin (well, maybe Fred's favorite for sure) when the kids complained they had to go to Red Robin again.  Without a word, Fred simply turned the car around and headed home.  I used this exact technique on my kids and it was life changing for them also.  Fred was dedicated to his family, and he was also a good friend. To me, it was an honor to call him a friend. He showed me how brave it can be to stand up for a friend when it's needed.  Once during our work at OU, Fred held a meeting with one of the most important contractors needed to complete our project. The contractor hadn't met me yet, and when he saw me, he made an off-handed comment, "who is this Mark McWhiter anyway?"  Fred instantly said, "he is a person that is important to everyone in his life, and you will respect him because he deserves it.  If you cannot, you can pack your bags and leave."  I will never forget this, and to this day, he gives me the strength to do the same.  

Fred, I will miss you, but I will never forget.  

I am and always shall be your friend,
Mark McWhirter

I am so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 

We are deeply sorry for your loss. May the comfort and love God has for you bring you peace during this difficult time. May all your beautiful memories as family together bring you much joy. We are praying for you, It was a blessing for us to share in a brief friendship with you through the Neff family. 

To the Travis Family,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers, today, tomorrow and always.

I will truly miss him and his wit.  He always had a kind word for me and helped with many things.  He also NEVER let me forget that I am 17 days older than him.  God has most definitely gained an angel, and he will keep them laughing.  I will miss you, the wisdom you bestowed upon me, and letting me be a part of your family.
