I came to know Fred after his retirement when he started to attend the clergy noon prayer time with the Chittenango area clergy. I appreciated his sense of humor and his fervent prayers. I learned by accident that he was a graduate of Houghton College (62). That gave us something in common as many in my family including my wife and daughter are also alums. I am also a current trustee at Houghton representing our district of the Wesleyan Church. I met Fred’s wife Anne-Louise and two of his children at the celebration and learned that his son Michael is also a Houghton grad (95).
I honor Fred and his wife for their faithful service to God; their exemplary endurance in the ministry and their desire to continue to be useful to our Master in retirement years.
