He was in the Calvary before WW2, and after the war began, he was in the infantry in the U.S.Army. While serving in China, Uncle Fred had a heart attack and was sent home. He was still only in his late twenties. He continued to have heart problems, and was told he should move to a warmer climate. He and his family moved to San Diego, California. Shortly after, he had a massive heart attack and died, at 43 years old.
Uncle Fred was preceded in death by his mother Dovvie, in 1947, his youngest brother Arthur, in 1955, and his grandparents. He left behind his wife, Mary, 3 daughters, one son, 5 grandchildren (12 more would follow after his death), his father Fred, 3 sisters, and 4 brothers. And many nieces and nephews who loved him very much!
