He graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a Mechanical Engineering degree and from Bradley University with a Masters of Engineering Administration.

He and Ruth Ann have four sons. Three live with their families in North Carolina, one died in a shooting incident as a teenager. They have five grandchildren.
They began attending Colonial regularly about a year after they moved to NC. That first year they attended other churchesbecause they wanted to be certain that they chose the right church home; they are certain that they did so in choosing CBC.
Fred and Ruth Ann are facilitators in the GriefShare program, an area for which they know God prepared them and to which He directed them. He has also served as a substitute for the Open Bible Class. He was involved with Bible Study Fellowship for ten years, seven of those as the Children's Supervisor. He and another CBC member initiated a monthly Bible study (LINKS Fellowship) involving senior men, mostly golfers, at Preston Country Club about 2001. They now co-lead that group consisting of over twenty-five men, many of whom were un-churched when they started attending the meetings. |
