To Fred's family and friends - 

I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

I remember Fred as kind and having a knack for making people laugh.  (I thought Caryl captured his sense of humor so well in her touching tribute to him that I read!) 

I remember that when my dad died, Fred was incredibly kind and supportive to my family.  You always remember the people who are there for you when life goes sideways like that. 

 I hope he is riding in his cowboy hat on "the other side."

          Our first date was at Pinnacle Peak.  After we sat down to dinner we began to talk. Fred appeared to be a very honest, kind, intelligent and gentle person. Sometimes first impressions aren't always what they seem to be, but in this case Fred ultimately turned out to be all those things and more. 
            I remember Fred telling me that he recently was placed on kidney dialysis and that he had suffered a heart attack several years before.  He then went on to tell me that he was running a feed store off of his 4 acre property in Vail. He mentioned that on the property he had 3 horses and 2 dogs. At this point I took a deep breath.
           After listening to Fred with all that he had going on he still had dreams of turning his property into something bigger. I have no doubt that had Fred been able to live on this Earth even for just a few years longer, he would have seen his dreams come to fruition. Fred was a dreamer and a doer. He was a visionary.  Fred was a rare and unique person.  He dared to do what he dared to dream. 
                    As each month went by Fred was always hopeful. We would go to visit his primary care physician and the doctor would tell him "well Fred, your sugar is high, your white blood cell count is low, your blood pressure is high, your cholesterol isn't too bad but you really need to watch your diet. Fred would then reply, so everything looks good right doc? 
          This past Valentines Day was very sad for me.  Instead of moping around the house I decided to do laundry. While putting away the last things that Fred had worn I came across a small box in the back of Fred's sock drawer.  I looked at the box realizing I hadn't seen this box before. To my surprise, when I opened the box, there was a beautiful gold bracelet inside. It was my Valentine's Day gift!Thank you so much Fred for choosing me to be your wife and bringing happiness and love into my life. I love you Fred. God bless you always.
