Fred married Rodonna Rothe July 7, 1963, and four boys were born to this union. Fred and Rodonna lived in Denison while he worked at the local creamery. After moving to Westside, Fred worked as an agronomist and manager at Cal-Car Farm Service. He was passionate about his work and spent countless hours assisting customers. In his earlier years, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, horseback riding, feeding the birds and working in his garden.
Fred loved his wife, who unselfishly took care of him in his later years when he was unable to walk and see clearly. He was proud of his sons, and loved their wives, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Above all, Fred loved God. He read the Bible eight times and spent many hours in prayer. He enjoyed listening to Gospel music and welcomed the thought of leaving this world and meeting Christ Jesus face to face.
