i remember in the dallas plant before we came to new orleans. fred went fishing in mexico and caught a marlin,he was proud and wanted it mounted. after a while the fish was delivered to the plant,he was happy but when they took it out of the box it looked fake.we were teasing him that they had a warehouse full of mounts, so when they saw his fish they asked for a no. 6 fish. another time still in dallas owen and me went hunting in west texas ,when we were returning we stopped at this resturant which is the only thing left in this town in the middle of nowhere. owen and i went in and spotted fred in a booth ed who was with him was walking to the bathroom owen followed ed and i charged fred jumping at him in the booth. we scared them, because this the last place you would expect to see someone you know. lots of fun.going to miss this guy. leslie and the kids so sorry for your loss, be strong you know fred will be looking down at you all. love you mickey and sara .

I met Fred at Deluxe some 40+ years ago and it has been my privilege to have him as a dear friend for all these years. We had so much fun together whether it was work or pleasure and enjoyed competing with one another in many of the same hobbies. Our times together often involved our young families and they, too, have fond memories of Fred and Leslie. It is a sad passing, but I can't think of anyone who lived and loved life to the fullest more than Fred. He will be sorely missed by so many, but all that knew him will still have their great memories of him.

Our prayers are with you, Leslie, Clayton and Courtney.

I had the honor of knowing Fred for 43 years, of which 23 we worked together at Deluxe Corporation; many years very closely. He made work look easy and was a successful sales person as well as a respected and trusted sales leader. Colleagues and clients gravitated to Fred because of these attributes and because Fred was so much fun to be with! I'm proud our friendship transcended the workplace and we remained close friends after we left Deluxe. Fred was a winner in life as well as business. He expected to win in every endeavor he undertook; and he often did, but always the right way.

In short, Fred was a good man, loving husband, wonderful father, and a fun, trustworthy friend. I will miss him greatly. I am comforted, however knowing Fred is in God’s loving arms now. I bet he’s gazing down a beautiful green fairway in Heaven - with no pain...

Leslie, please know that Vicky and my prayers are for peace and continued strength for you, Clayton, and Courtney through this difficult time.
