Fred always enjoyed working with his hands from fixing cars to owning a bike shop fixing bicycles. He could fix anything. After leaving Control Data he went into business for himself offering computer repairs and services.

Fred had many interests in his life but his family always came first. It didn't matter what he was interested in doing, there had to be room for members of his family to enjoy. He was a Grand Knight at the Tooele Council of the Knights of Columbus.
