I just found out of Fred's passing. I grew up on Calhoun ST with Fred's sons. He was a very nice man. My condolences to Jerone, Rich and John.

I am so sorry for the families loss.... I only Knew Fred though his Sons. And Knowing the Swoveland's Has Blessed my life many times. I'm regretful I didn't take the time to know Fred more. But will always cherish the Swoveland Family with Great memories. All my children know of the Swoveland family (Rich) at least and has been to two weddings. We as the Stauffer family Pray for peace and Blessings to the Swoveland's
