He also had so much love for his cats, Coal and Timber. Fred enjoyed fishing, hunting, and tinkering in his garage with his chainsaws and other tools. His love language was cooking, finding great joy in making meals for those he loved. Fred was always there to lend a helping hand to anybody who needed it.
