Fred was also an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy novels, and gun magazines. He took great pride in his farming days.

Fred was an active member of the Second Milo Baptist church for the majority of his adult life. He served as both trustee and deacon throughout his time there. His children have fond memories of their dad requesting the hymn “Joy to the World” to be sung every Christmas at church in honor of his wife, Joy.
