Grandpa Fred was quite a character that left a lasting impression on many. My favorite memory of him was “fooling” me as a kid by blowing on his thumb to flex his tremendous biceps – it worked on me for like 10 years easy and he always threw his head back with a huge laugh afterward. After surviving successive heart attacks, he was still up and around “trying to get his legs back” and finally his strong farmer’s heart gave way to peaceful night’s sleep at the age of 96. Thanks for the memories, Grandpa! -Judd

Fabulous photos of Fred’s life. He was such a wonderful man. My Grandma Esther Lee Munson has many fond memories of spending time with him and Christine.
Wonderful. Thanks very much.
