Fred will be greatly missed by all his fb friend. He was a joy and brought many laughs to us all. My prayers go out to his family. God Bless you all.
DeleteFred was a good friend. He always brought a smile to my face. It was a blessing to know Fred. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral services. I am in rehab and unable to motivate. I am truly going to miss Fred. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. God bless you all. Fred, Rest in Peace. I love you. Your Friend, Marilyn.
DeleteHe was such a nice man. He treated my nieces, which called him grandpa, with such love. As their aunt I am greatful for that since they lost both their pappaws! RIP Fred
DeleteFred will be truly missed by all of us on fb. He always made us laugh and cared for everyone. We love you Fred and God Bless your family and friends. Fred is in heaven and we all will meet him again. Prayers for you all. Your friend always Janie.
DeleteFred or shall I say Grandpa, was such a great man. He always could make everyone laugh, he was def a stand up guy! He will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.
DeleteEveryone's comments are well spoken of this kind loving caring, and always put a smile on your face before words were ever spoken kinda man. Then once you engaged conversation with Fred, warmth and love seemed to fill your soul. Like the layers of a soft warm blanket on a winters day....you cherished his time n dreaded parting ways. Fred always came off with a great joke or witty comment n if he didn't, he was up to something!. Lol. Although I knew Fred such a short while, his good nature n charm leaves a contagious smile. Something like the "who ate the jello pudding" commercials with the dad literally smilin ear 2 ear. What a kind loving man this world has lost but we know the heavens are rejoycing his homecoming. Yes his lose is heartbreaking, to say the least but his tender spirit, and loving kindness lives on and shines through his wife Beulah, and their beautiful family. You are all so loved! For I said it once, I'll say it again...The Heavens are rejoycing, and Angels all sing for God only choosing the best there can be. Enjoy your journey my dear sweet friend for another time, we shall meet again. I love y'all so much!
DeleteI am stimply stunned by this, having recently seen Fred and Beulah and he was in such good health and spirits. Life has not granted us the opportunity to spend much time together since he married my cousin so many years ago. My thoughts are weighing heavy now for Beulah and the family. I plan to attend the visitation on Sunday. Take care everyone!
DeleteHE REALLY WAS A FUNNY AND SWEET GUY.I ALWAYS LAUGHED AT HIS POSTS ON FB. SUCH A SMART GUY TOO.LOVED HIM DEARLY.SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.IF I COULD I WOULD COME BUT SCARED TO GET FAR AWAY YET.
DeleteHe was the best, most loving, friendly person I knew. I am proud to say he was my uncle. He was Bubby to me and all of our cousins. He treated us all with love and kindness, always ready to help us with anything we needed help with.
DeleteWe all loved him so very much and his absence will be greatly felt by all.
Personally, he was my first Santa. I was three and I could see his eyes and knew it was him. He always made me feel so loved with one of his big hugs. I can't believe he is gone. I'm sure he is happy to be with Pop & Mom Hoskins as well as his brothers and others. It's a comfort to know he is with them, but the pain of losing him is so great. My prayers go out to my aunt Beulah and the girls as well as the rest of our family who are in so much pain now. Love you all.
I am in shock. Courthouse was never the same without him popping in everyday. My thought's and prayer's to Fred's family. I'm so sorry for your (our) loss.
