He attended East High School, University of Utah and La Salle College of Law. Fred loved to work, made friends easily and connected with people. His professional career led him and his family to live in Utah, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas and California. After he retired, he and Helen moved to Eagle, Idaho in 2011. He worked in the manufacturing, housing and aerospace industries but serving people was very important to him.

He served on the Executive board of the Boy Scouts of America and received the Silver Beaver Award. He served on the board of Mentors International. He served on the Valley Interfaith Council in Los Angeles, California and he also served in several positions in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints including many leadership positions and as a missionary with Helen in London, England for 18 months. Although Fred loved people, cars, golfing and travel he loved his wife and family the most. He has been married to his sweetheart, Helen, for over 63 years and together they have 9 children, 33 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren (as of today – 3 more are on the way!). He loved family reunions, especially “Huck Camp”, which he and Helen held approximately every 3 years since 1999. After 2005, the week-long Huck Camps were held where they lived with all or most of the 55 to 65 family members staying together with them in their home.
