Fred is survived by his devoted wife of 26 years, Clemie Janis (Sofge) Tadlock. He and Janis enjoyed traveling to many places across the United States and belonged to the Hot Springs Village RV Club. They both loved to dance, especially country & western, the polka and square dancing and belonged to Hot Springs Village Square Dance Club. He enjoyed many hours spent with friends and family and all who knew him knew he played a mean game of cards and dominos.
Light of Fred’s life were his children and grandchildren.
