Fredrick was an AVID Drag Racer in his younger years.  He loved fast cars and was an expert mechanic.  He loved outdoor activities that included hunting, fishing, and working cows.

His career was primarily as a Production Manager of Combustion Safeguard Systems in the Oil and Gas Industry.  After retirement he spent time remodeling several houses in the Texas Hill Country and traveling with his wife. Places included Yellowstone, Costa Rica, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, multiple places in the Caribbean, Key West and more.

If you knew him well, you knew what a proud Texan he was.  He never wanted to live anywhere else.  He flew the Texas and American flags every day.  He loved his family and adored all his grandkids more than anything.

He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, perseverance, and a “get it done” attitude in all that were fortunate enough to know him.
