(Matthew 25:34 Then Shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherited the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto, Inasmuch as ye have done it one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.) Fred attended Hamilton High School in Mendota, VA, he was employed by Raytheon Co. and retired after 35 years. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy during WWII. He leaves behind one son, Harry S.
