He was enjoying retired life and golfing four times a week before he was called to heaven. Fred was an avid Golfer. He was a member of Sea Trail Men’s Golf Association and various other golfing groups. He recently went on a men’s golf trip to Ireland where he made wonderful memories. Fred cherished every moment spent with his family and friends at the beach. He loved cooking and was well known for his delicious ribs. He also enjoyed his granddogs. Fred’s smile, infectious laugh, and wonderful cooking skills will be missed by all!

A celebration of life will be held at a later date in the spring. Lee Funeral Home and Crematory of Little River is serving the Minger family.
