To the family of Fred White. Wes & I had the pleasure of knowing Fred for the past 5 years. Many lunches & great conversations were among the times that we spent with him. He was quick witted and a great man. I will always remember one story he told & it will ALWAYS make me smile. We are better for knowing him. And let it be known: Fred White made the BEST peanut brittle EVER. I am thankful for the time that we had with him. Wes & Amy Cox - Woodland Park, Colorado
