Fred grew up and lived his 99 years in Troy, enjoying dairy farming, custom farm work throughout the community where he came to know many people and all the back roads. When most men would retire, Fred continued to do chores with the horses, cut everyone’s grass with their riding lawn mowers, had chickens so he could sell and deliver eggs around the area, and stop in at various homes for coffee. Fred always welcomed people into his home and after Helen’s passing he still made sure there were sweets or pie available to serve with coffee.
