Condolence: I experienced a sense of great loss when I heard of Freddie's passing. He will be missed. Anyone who knew Freddie, will remember him as a person who had a great sense of humor, quick witted and not a complainer.
I will never forget the day he came into the office at Western Carolina Telephone Company to apply for a job as Central Office Technician. He impdressed me as being very personalble and intelligent. His knowledge of electronics qualified him very well for the job. I wondered at the time if his physical handicap would allow him to fulfill all the requirements of the job. Upon hiring Freddie I soon learned that Freddie did not know that he had a handicap, he tackeled anything that he had to do and excelled at the job.
His friendly demeanor, wry wit and cando attitude set him apart and will be remembered.

Condolence: It saddens me to hear of Frederick's passing. He and I attended Flat Creek all through elementary school until I moved after 7th grade. He was always up for some fun. Softball and all. I admire his courage and determination to be himself.

Condolence: Jesus said "My grace is sufficient for thee". Today I am sad and sorry for your loss and pray that God will strengthen and comfort you all. I worked with Fred and have known him most of my life. We were always friends and I thought so much of him. He was a fun guy. We will miss him but know that he is at peace now in the arms of a loving God. Patricia Ray Barnardsville
