I just became aware of this guestbook today. Fred and I were friends for over Fifty two years. We rode together a lot in the early 70’s and had some real experiences together. He was a funny guy and great to work with. He and Barbara were close friends of ours socially also. We had a Christmas Eve tradition for years. We did everything from camping to cruise’s together over the years. Everyone knew that he was a great cop and he worked some very desirable jobs with MDPD. We will miss him dearly RIP old friend
