He loved to play the harmonica in church..and enjoyed whittling, carving and fishing. Fred was a master checkers player, and even with his cane he could eat the entire family to the dinner table. He had been a joyful member of the Faith Bible Church, and attended all the services at Thornapple Manor where he resided since 1999. Fred is survived by his sister, Edith Foote of Tendercare; sister-in-law, Dora Harrington, who along with er late husband, George, had cared for Fred in their home for over 30 years; many loving nieces and nephews and their families; and his many friends at Thornapple Manor.
