Fred started his career at HEB shortly after they first opened the store and worked in the deli department for 22 years and retired in 2016. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan & loved going to Las Vegas every summer to play the slots. He enjoyed watching old westerns and watching the history channel. In his younger days he enjoyed going to rock concerts across Texas. He always tried his luck at winning the Texas lotto; using his kids birthdays for the numbers.
