He met Marilyn Elenbaas in Sunnyside, Washington in 1957. After a fifteen-month assignment to the middle east, they were married in Zillah, Washington in 1959. Fred spent his military career with a Topographic unit, which provided data that was used to produce military maps. A career that took him to every continent of the world. After he retired from the military in 1971, he moved to Hamilton, Virginia and was employed by the Virginia Department of Transportation, Northern Virginia district as a Transportation Engineer. Fred was a member of the Christ Fellowship Church where he was an elder. He retired from VDOT in 1992, and he and his wife Marilyn moved to Franklin that same year. Fred loved life.
