The memories that stick out the most are when I was younger, when he would call to our house, my dad, his brother Lee’s, (almost everyday) about what they were going to “work on” for the day... that usually meant they would all argue about who was doing it the right way.  It was always funny to see, especially when they would work on cars.  So, he would call my dad and I would somehow always be the one to answer the phone.  He would always say the same jokes with a variation to them, like, Carolyn, it’s Fred, is your refrigerator running? And my response was, yes uncle Fred it is.. and his reply, well why don’t you go catch it...the next call was if my nose was running and why don’t I go catch that and so on... but he would just laugh when I would respond.. no matter if it was funny or not. He thought it was.. and I will never forget his laugh. And his silly jokes.  To all of my cousins and uncles and aunts feeling pain right now my god bless you all and remember all the good times we had with him!  My he live in our hearts forever, I love you uncle Fred and you will be dearly missed.

Uncle Fred had a soft-spoken voice and the BIGGEST HEART over flowing with Kindness. 
Uncle love to come to Vegas to see his sister, my mom, Lupe. 
Oh but... he did liked those 
slot machines $$$
I remember one time we had taken him to the casino so he could play the machines. He'd been playing for a while, we went up to him and asked him, "How are you doing Uncle?  Is your machine paying you?"  He said, "No, this machine is pretty confusing it keeps dinging like I won but nothing coming out. " We told him. "Well that's not good. Maybe you want to change machines if it's only taking your money. Let us look at it first." 
We hit a button and $300 plus came out. 😲 
Not realizing it he had pushed the hold button so that it wouldn't drop out his winnings.
OH MY GOSH...Uncle was the happiest man alive at that moment. 🤣🤗 
He had the biggest smile on his face all the way home. 😁
Oh yes, Uncle's card tricks. 
We were always baffled and could never figure out how he did Magic with them. Of course he'd eventually show how he did it, but he Loved seeing our confused faces 🤔🤔
We will truely miss you Uncle. 
All the memories of your kindness and laughter, will live in our hearts FOREVER. 
May the Gates of Heaven open for You and You Rest in Peace. 📿
Love Always, Julie and Ed 💕💕
