Obituary

Fred, 67, died of natural causes near his Fountain Hills home while sharpening his marksmanship skills at the Rio Salado Sportsman's Club on Saturday, March 20, 2003. He loved the outdoors. Fred's career spanned 25 years in the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a forester and was followed by many years as real estate agent, part-time local historian and orator. Fred was a graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in forest management. In his youth he served his country honorably in the U.S. Marines and later treated every excursion as a military expedition, whether he was with his wife, outdoorsmen friends or "grandbabies," as he loved to call them. Fred and wife Rosemarie were life partners for 42 years.
