On December 19, 1971, Frederick married his lifelong love and soulmate, Laura Hargreaves. Together they shared 51 years of marriage and raised four beautiful daughters. In 1991, Frederick and his family relocated to Buckley from Long Island. There, Fred worked in sales and retail management to provide for his cherished family. Fred had a passion for gardening and teaching his children and grandchildren all that he knew.
