“While growing up my Father and I would trek up to the farmhouse during quail season and visit with Fred Senior, Leeroy and Fred. Dad usually had a bottle of Whiskey to leave after our visit. We were always greeted with a warm smile and stories about deer and the local wildlife. Memories that I will always treasure. Fred was a pioneer, gentleman and a sincere man. Qualities that we need in today's world. He will be missed. Dale Roethemeyer”
