RIP Fred, you will be sorely missed. One of the friendliest people I ever met. The very first person I met in BBQ. God Bless.

Fred was the first person I met at the very first BBQ Competition I went to. Great guy. He'll be sorely missed. R.I.P. Fred.

Smokin' Joe · 03-09-2012, 11:54 AM

Rest in Peace Fred. A couple of years ago at the Royal Fred and the BBQ Guru guys were right across the row from us and we had a great time with them.

On Saturday night Kim mixed up some of her (in)famous "Yucka" -Its basically a bottle of vodka with some lemons/limes/sugar and it will knock you on your butt

Fred asked what it was so she poured him a drink. He came back the next morning with a big grin on his face saying - I don't know what was in that drink you gave me but it sure made me sleep good

Fred was a great man - and will be missed

I was hoping to meet Fred to thank him for my newly acquired DigiQ DX2. It would have been an honor to meet the man behind such a wonderful product.
RIP
