Fred was an auto mechanic and an entrepreneur for most of his life. He worked on cars over 55 years, and had FMB, Inc. for his auto business and other entrepreneurial endeavors. For years he had flea market booths selling anything from die cast metal vehicles to purses and perfumes. For a while he had full-service gas stations in Indianapolis, Indiana and at another time a tanning salon and exhaust shop in Kentucky, as he lived in Corbin, Kentucky for many of his final years. He loved to travel and see the ocean and the sights of the mountains, and sharing that joy with his late wife, Lectie Annette, who’s death preceded his in July 2022.

He has chosen not to have any services or arrangements after his passing; however, the family will decide their plans privately and with whom to share that information at the time.
