Fred grew up on 10th Street West in Huntington, attended Monroe Elementary, West Junior High School and HHS. Many of us who grew up with Fred can remember those days when Huntington's West End was a really close-knit community.  Fred lived next door to classmate Bill Bartley and within just a few houses from Steve Evendoll, Helen Bowyer Mack, Barbra Charles Haptonstall, Mendell Ray, and Linda Bauserman McClellan just to name a few. We also remember getting together with Fred once a week when members of Cub Scout Pack 13 would meet in the Bartley garage (under the watchful eyes of our Den Mother, Grace Bartely (Bill's mother) and our Scoutmaster, Bill Charles (Barbra's father.)

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Sharon; his son Bill (Celi Stuart) of Huntington; his daughter Cathy of Huntington; his sister Shirley Freeman of Omaha, Neb.; two nieces, Melissa Freeman of Council Bluffs, Iowa and Laura Dunn (Steve) of Omaha, Neb.; and countless special friends who were part of his extended family.
