Deepest Condolences to my cousins Junior, Sandra, Reuben Corey and other siblings, to my Auntie Jamie and entire family. He always made me laugh about personal stuff when we see each other. Prayers for those mourning and to our loss. He never let his stroke get to him, still got around to where he wandered off to or his missions. I remember seeing him leading his horses around while in his wheelchair, thought wow he made sure they were taken care of. Sad I hadn’t seen him since he moved to Blgs. RIP Uncle Fred.
