Joann & Family,
Please accept our sincerest condolences for your loss. We are grieving with you. However, we know that even heaven’s spirits have been lifted by Fred’s arrival!
Fred was a dear friend and Seagram colleague for over 50 years. His people skills were extraordinary! He was always among the first to greet someone with a smile, a certain twinkle in his eyes, and, of course, his Texas size sense of humor. He was always the consummate gentleman. We will miss him dearly.
Sincerely,
Pete & Mary Ellen
Terry & Ellie Barker & Family
The whole Barker family loved Fred and so enjoyed the talks and shared times with Fred and Joanne. Our boys spent so much time together we have enjoyed the company of all the Ways for the past 22 years. Fred exemplified the gentleman and loved his grandsons who blossomed into young men under his watch. We will miss his engaging conversations and positive outlook. We know the Lord has a special place for him as we have a special place in our hearts…
